Join the Michigan Rural Council

Benefits of being a Council member include opportunities to participate in local and statewide training sessions, providing input to shape a rural policy agenda, sharing best practices and funding opportunities and connecting to similar communities across the state.

Engage with an issue-based work group

MRC work groups are convened around specific issues affecting rural communities. Each group develops its own action plans and projects designed to directly impact at least one aspect of their chosen issue.

Sign up for the monthly e-newsletter

MRC distributes a monthly e-newsletter filled with rural updates, news, resources, policy links and funding opportunities.  Sign up today to have this delivered directly to your inbox!

Attend a Council meeting

The bi-monthly Council meetings not only give you the chance to meet and converse with other community leaders and rural advocates, but each meeting also provides an in-depth discussion of a topic related to rural community building.

Connect with current Council members

Our current Council members serve as expert resources and are eager to connect with others doing great work across rural Michigan.
