MAC is a nonpartisan, nonprofit organization that advances education, communication and cooperation among the leaders of Michigan’s 83 counties.  It serves as the counties’ voice at the state and federal level, providing legislative support on key issues affecting counties.

“I am deeply honored to serve as President of the MAC Board,” said Commissioner Wallace. “This is a pivotal time for counties across Michigan as we confront both new challenges and exciting opportunities.
