The Municipal Management Academy (MMA) is designed for experienced managers and supervisors who want to become more effective, as well as those who have been recently appointed to supervisory positions in municipal government. The course sessions are easily adapted for groups of different sizes and levels of experience and skill. The program serves as foundational management training for the new manager or as a refresher course for the experienced manager.
