About the Program

Category: County Administration and Management (Best in Category)

Year: 2023

The Wayne County Millennial Advisory Council (MAC) was appointed by the County Executive to promote the engagement of a younger generation of employees, job candidates and constituents to enhance the business of the County. Since its launch in December 2022, the MAC has had a dual purpose: (1) To review county culture, departments, processes, work practices, job environments, tools and technology to determine enablers and derailers that may have a positive or negative impact on a younger generation of employees; and (2) To provide specific programming, events and activities that will attract, engage and retain current and future audiences of younger generations. The goal is to conduct inward analyses and external outreach that gives relevant and inclusive opportunities to youth to shape County policies, governmental practices and identify the next wave of leaders and workers who will strive for excellence in the delivery of programs and services. A successful MAC will result in greater engagement of the youth sector, cross-generational mentorship opportunities, increases of youth in political affairs and activities and cultivation of the sustainability of the County.
