Background:
Established in March 2017 with a generous $10,000 investment from MML Foundation Board Member and Ypsilanti City Attorney John Barr. Matching donations from MML members, Foundation board members and DTE Energy raised an additional $10,000.
John Barr's vision: "Training and education are a large part of the key to good government. The MML and affiliates offer wonderful opportunities for both training and education. My hope is that this scholarship initiative will encourage more public officials to increase their knowledge and understanding of the best practices of local government."
