The MMA will hold its spring series of Legislative Breakfast Meetings on March 6, 13 and 20 in locations around the state.

Each year, the MMA hosts a series of meetings across the Commonwealth to give local leaders, legislators and MMA staff the opportunity to network in an informal setting and learn about and discuss issues of importance at the local and state level.

The spring series of breakfasts will take place as the Legislature begins its work on a fiscal 2027 state budget plan. Topics of discussion will also include the many bills and issues on the MMA’s radar for the session, including the proposed Municipal Empowerment Act, an environmental bond bill, a transportation bond bill with funding for the Chapter 90 road and bridge program, and energy affordability legislation.

Municipal officials from every community are invited to take advantage of this opportunity to discuss issues of importance with MMA staff and legislators. Attendees are also urged to contact their local legislators and invite them to attend.

The free Friday morning meetings will open with a light breakfast and coffee at 8:30 a.m. Introductions will begin shortly thereafter, followed by presentations and Q&A. The meetings will end by 10:15 a.m.

The meetings will be held on the following dates and locations:
• March 6: Pittsfield and Sharon
• March 13: Clinton and Harwich
• March 20: Boxford and Montague

MMA members are asked to register online.
