TEMPORARY: 2020 COVID-19
As the COVID-19 situation progresses, MISS DIG 811 is adapting to meet the needs of our members.

Getting Involved: Committees and The Board of Directors
MISS DIG 811 and the Damage Prevention industry are better off when stakeholders get involved. We solicit feedback from our members through many forms including mutual participation in committees, including the Michigan Damage Prevention Board, MISS DIG 811s Ticket Initiation Management and Execution, and numerous other committees. Information including committees and how to get involved can be found on the committee pages.
For those interested in helping steer MISS DIG 811, serving on the Board of Directors is the perfect fit for individuals who have demonstrated significant achievements in damage prevention, business, and/or public service. Learn more about the Role of the Board, the MISS DIG 811 culture, and what we are looking for in our Directors.
