Should you have any problems accessing any of the services, informational tutorials, video on demand services among a few do not hesitate to reach out to the staff at the TOI office. They are available and ready to assist. Remember that Township Government is the government closest to the people. Together, we can maintain efficient, effective and community proud local government institutions called TOWNSHIPS. It is my honor to serve as your President and I welcome the opportunity to meet as many of you as I can over the next two years as I travel to many programs provided by the association.
