POLITICAL CONTRIBUTIONS
MMAC’s Political Action Committee (PAC) account allows members to contribute funds in support of candidates that back our agenda.
 
MMAC Conduit operates as an individual campaign donation “checking account” for members. Managed by the MMAC, funds contributed are released as personal contributions to candidates and may not be released without the consent of the donor. 

REGIONAL ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT
MMAC is one of the founding partners of the Milwaukee 7 Regional Partnership (M7), that works to grow and retain businesses, talent and jobs in southeastern Wisconsin.
 
M7 leverages millions of dollars in federal earmarks, state assistance and other municipal investments for business projects that make the Milwaukee Region stronger and a more attractive place to do business.
 
M7 markets the region to companies looking to expand operations or relocate – from across the state line to around the globe – and helps guide them from their first visit to the region through the opening of their new plant or office. M7 has successfully closed deals and attracted foreign direct investment from companies in China, India, Great Britain, Spain, Italy and Germany.
 
M7 staff and their counterparts in local economic development organizations throughout the region can then connect companies to resources, including:

• Talent sourcing
• Real estate/location optimization
• Export development
• Financing options
• Business incentives
• Market expansion
