About MACEO
The Michigan Association of Code Enforcement
Officers (MACEO) is a non-profit organization open to persons
involved with and responsible for the enforcement of land
use, nuisances, zoning, environmental, building and property
maintenance codes for the State, County, or local Municipality
entity.
The purpose of the Michigan Association
of Code Enforcement Officers is to promote professional and
social fellowship and the spirit of cooperation among the
members of this organization; To provide educational services
and activities to aid in the performance of their employment;
To educate the membership on laws and ordinances on the federal,
state, and local levels of other branches and departments
of government; To gather, receive and disseminate information
concerning employment standards and the certification of members
on a state level; To give full cooperation to the officers
of this association for the betterment of the association.
MACEO offers monthly meetings at locations
suitable for training sessions and group discussion of issues
that are of mutual concern to code enforcement officers. Methods
of maintaining the professionalism and expertise of this profession
are explored, usually in an informal setting over a sit-down
meal.
MACEO facilitates communication and networking
between code enforcement officials across the State of Michigan
and the United States. In addition to the monthly meetings
and training, an annual conference is also a popular event
held during the month of March in Mt. Pleasant. Many
of MACEO's members are also active in the American Association
of Code Enforcement Officials (AACE), a national organization
of code officials. In 2005 MACEO was accepted as a Local Chapter
of the International Code Council (ICC).
Most of all, MACEO is committed to enhancing
the effectiveness of its members, thereby providing safer,
cleaner, and more compatible environments in our communities.
Our training typically includes such topics as legal aspects
of code enforcement, nuisance abatement, how to deal with
difficult people, inspector safety, code interpretation and
topics related to structural and mechanical problems with
buildings.
MACEO maintains a library of codes drawn
from communities across Michigan to aid our membership in
keeping their local codes updated.
