 Veterans' Affairs Commission
Last call! The Macomb County Board of Commissioners is seeking to fill two upcoming vacancies on the Macomb County Veterans' Affairs Commission. This position is open to residents of Macomb County who have served honorably on active duty in the United States Armed Forces. These are both 4-year terms, which begin August 1, 2025 and end July 31, 2029.
Applications must be received by 5 pm on Tuesday, July 15, 2025. Applicants should expect to attend the Government Oversight Committee meeting on July 22, 2025, at 3 pm for a public interview. Appointments will take place at the July 24, 2025 Full Board meeting.
 Community Mental Health Board
The Board of Commissioners is also accepting applications to fill a resignation one midterm vacancy on the Macomb County Community Mental Health (CMH) Services Board. This partial term will run through March 31, 2027.
The CMH Board is charged with providing oversight of Macomb County Community Mental Health, which provides a comprehensive array of mental health services appropriate to the needs of the persons served within its service area, regardless of the ability to pay for the service. By statute, the members are representatives of providers of mental health services, recipients of mental health services, agencies and occupations having a working involvement with mental health services and the general public.
Applications must be received by 5 p.m. on Tuesday, August 12, 2025. Applicants should expect to attend the Government Oversight Committee meeting on August 19, 2025, at 3 pm for a public interview. The appointment will take place at the August 21, 2025 Full Board meeting.
 The generosity of county employees through the Casual Day program led to significant contributions for the March and April Casual Day recipients. On Fridays or designated days, employees of Macomb County may, with department leader permission, wear casual clothing if they donate at least one dollar to the monthly charity. Since the Casual Day program was initiated 21 years ago, more than $720,000 has been given to local charities and nonprofits.
March contributions provided a $651.75 check to Leadership Macomb. Leadership Macomb seeks to produce a network of informed community leaders who understand the roles and relationships of people and systems that support and sustain our community, enable graduates and others to engage in civic leadership and strengthen organizational and community relationships.
 In April, the Cassie Hines Foundation, a nonprofit that aims to guide individuals aged 18-40 with cancer to social support programs and services that can aid in both their emotional recovery and physical battle, received $635.75
Thank you to all participating county departments and employees!
