Thank You Affiliate Partners!

The Municipal League of Metro St. Louis has begun implementing our new five-tiered affiliate membership program, which offers organizations that provide goods and services to municipalities various levels of interaction with our municipal members. At this time, we are proud to recognize our two top tiers of sponsorships for 2026: League Leaders and Municipal Champions. These sponsorship levels reflect an elevated commitment to supporting local government, regional collaboration, and the work of the League on behalf of municipalities throughout the St. Louis metropolitan area.
League Leaders represent our highest level of partnership - organizations that have demonstrated a sustained commitment to municipal leadership, innovation, and public service. Their leadership and support make League programs, advocacy, and professional development possible. At the Municipal Champion level are valued partners that play a critical role in advancing municipal projects and strengthening communities across the region.

Municipal Champions
Together, our League Leaders and Municipal Champions form the foundation of the League's sponsorship program, ensuring we can continue to serve as a strong, unified voice for local governments.

East-West Gateway
Public Involvement Plan Survey
|
|
|
East-West Gateway's Communications & Engagement Department is in the process of updating its Public Involvement Plan (PIP), as part of its Title VI requirements as a Metropolitan Planning Organization. The PIP documents EWG strategies for compliance with federal standards regarding public information and engagement techniques that pertain to its transportation planning and related initiatives.
As part of the process, EWG is currently conducting a survey of the public and stakeholders on how they prefer to receive information and how they prefer to provide feedback and opinions. The information provided by this survey will help EWG hone its strategies in the PIP.
Please take five minutes to fill out this digital survey and share the link with your peers.
