Membership

For over 40 years, the Michigan Association of Adult & Community Education (MACAE), has represented the administrators, teachers and supporters of Community Education in the State of Michigan. During those years, we have seen many changes in the field and have experienced many changes in our organization. There have been times of plenty and leaner periods where schools and other community agencies have faced economic uncertainty.

MACAE is proud to have come through some interesting time in the last few years and feel we are on the brink of reestablishing ourselves in a leadership role in adult education, alternative education, pre-school and early child­hood education and enrichment and recreation in our state. We can best do that by continuing to grow and expand our membership. We can do that best if you join our efforts.

Please consider becoming a MACAE member or returning to MACAE with your membership. We believe you will find an organization made up of very dedicated professionals who share a belief system that leads to community improvement and empowerment. Call us at 517-492-1367 for more information.
