 2010 Roster - Updated

The Michigan Public Service Institute Planning Committee and Central Michigan University’s Off Campus Programs are pleased to invite you to attend the Eighteenth Annual Michigan Public Service Institute (MPSI) to be held July 25 - July 30, 2010 and the MPSI Advanced Institute to be held July 28 - July 30, 2010. The Institute will be conducted at the Comfort Inn Conference Center in Mt. Pleasant, Michigan.

MPSI consists of a three-year training program, which provides instruction expressly designed for public works supervisors, managers and directors. The MPSI course is divided into three one-week sessions (one week each year) focusing on training in public service and enhancing individual growth and professional development. The sessions are non-sequential and one may begin the three year cycle at any time. The MPSI Planning Committee has worked diligently in planning an exceptional program designed around the current challenges faced by public service professionals from municipalities of all sizes.

Registration information and the schedule are located on the right-hand menu. Note that participants are expected to attend evening functions that include classes, group meals and activities. Wednesday afternoon and evening are considered “free time” and a wide variety of activities are available for participants looking for opportunities to get better acquainted with peers from across the state.

The MPSI Advanced Institute is a two and one-half day program held in conjunction with the Basic Institute. This is a shorter program relating to the challenges of today’s public service officials that is designed for those people that have completed the Basic Institute and want to improve supervisory skills while maintaining strong ties with other Michigan public service professionals. The schedule for the MPSI Advanced Institute begins with registration on Wednesday morning at 8:00 AM and ends on Friday at noon. If you are a graduate of the program and prefer to attend on Monday through Wednesday, that option is available upon request.

We are continuing to designate Thursday as “Directors Day” and is an opportunity for directors or bosses that just want to get an idea of what MPSI is all about. Our hope is that when the they see the quality of this program, they will be even more willing to authorize members of their team to attend MPSI.

The MPSI Advisory Committee and Central Michigan University are pleased to offer another excellent program that will help you reach your professional goals and enhance your effectiveness and efficiency on the job. Please refer questions to Mary Bender, 231-797-5536.
