MASB Reveals New Web Site

Lansing, MI – The Michigan Association of School Boards (MASB) is excited to reveal a redesigned Web site, www.masb.org. For the past several months, MASB has been working with Lansing-based i2Integration to develop a user-friendly, aesthetically pleasing Web presence that’s conducive to its member needs.

MASB serves 4,200 members in more than 600 school districts across the state, making the Web site a critical tool in reaching its members with important information in a timely and efficient manner. In addition, the Web site was redesigned to better reflect the association’s brand, LeadStrong, and create a more cohesive identity.

Another new feature is the online advocacy tool e-Vocate: The Power of You that will make it easier for members to stay up-to-date on key legislative issues and to contact their legislators.
It’s MASB’s goal to continue to develop the site into a reliable resource for school board members, school officials and the community. Over the next several months the association will introduce additional features, utilizing the Web 2.0 trend to find ways for school board members to easily connect with one another.

The Michigan Association of School Boards provides quality educational leadership services to all Michigan boards of education, and to advocate for student achievement and public education.
