Board of Directors

The elected board members of the Michigan Association of Housing Officials (MAHO) meet regularly to discuss and make decisions on various matters related to the organization. These meetings are held on the first Thursday of every month and are an important way for the board to stay informed, make plans, and provide oversight for MAHO’s activities.

At these meetings, board members may discuss a range of topics, including upcoming events and activities, budgetary matters, membership recruitment and retention, advocacy efforts, and strategic planning. They may also review and approve reports from committees or staff members, discuss any challenges or concerns facing the organization, and make decisions on policy or programmatic changes.

In addition to their monthly meetings, board members may also participate in other activities to support the work of MAHO, such as serving on committees or task forces, attending conferences and events, and engaging with members and stakeholders in the housing industry. Through their dedication and service, the board members of MAHO play a crucial role in advancing the organization’s mission and ensuring its continued success.
