TMACOG’s annual business meeting, keynote address, and caucus opportunities will be held in a series of teleconferences Tuesday through Friday, January 19-22.
Registration is now open and is required for participation in assembly activities. The registration fee is $15 for TMACOG members and $30 for non-members.
The REGISTRATION deadline is January 8. Register soon to ensure that you receive meeting materials via first class mail before our first day. Your 2021 General Assembly packet will also include the Transportation Legislative Agenda, and the Agenda for Lake Erie and some fun items from our sponsors and partners.
We will begin January 19 at 8:30 a.m. with a timely keynote presentation on the multibillion-dollar Gordie Howe International Bridge. Guest speaker ODOT Director Dr. Jack Marchbanks will have short remarks before introducing Joe Comartin, Consul General of the Canadian Consulate in Detroit. The Consul General will provide an update on the project and look at the potential impact on the TMACOG region. Set to open in 2024, this structure will offer the only direct highway-to-highway connection between Canada and the United States in the Detroit-Windsor area. We expect that this new access will impact freight movement and economic development in our entire region.
Caucus sessions will be at staggered times Tuesday through Thursday and members are encouraged to drop in on any session that may be of interest. The summer caucuses were improved by input from the diversity of people participating. Each caucus will elect/appoint their representatives to the TMACOG Board of Trustees and discuss topics of interest to their members.
The program will wrap up on Friday, January 22 from 8:30 to 10 a.m. with the business meeting, reports from leadership and the caucus sessions, and an election of leadership for 2021. A quorum is required for the business meeting, please register to participate or send a designee to attend on your behalf.
