About TAM

The Telecommunications Association of Michigan was established in 1935 as the Telephone Association of Michigan.  Over the course of its history, the association has grown into Michigan’s largest trade association serving the telecommunications industry.  Our membership includes nearly all of the state’s incumbent local telephone companies, who share the mission of providing state-of-the-art communications services at affordable prices.  The association also represents more than 100 firms who work with our telecom company members, providing equipment, construction services and consulting expertise.

As a not-for-profit organization, the association has the ability to meet the needs of its membership in a variety of ways.  Our educational programming, public policy knowledge and regulatory compliance assistance enables the membership to meet the challenges of a dynamic industry armed with the tools they need to succeed.  The association’s efforts have consistently been recognized as being among the most effective in the industry.

For 75 years, the Telecommunications Association of Michigan has actively supported and promoted the state’s telecom industry.  As the industry continues to evolve, it plays an increasingly important role in Michigan’s economy.  The Telecommunications Association of Michigan has embraced the change and will continue to provide its membership with services that help them thrive.
