Arkansas Municipal League certified

The Arkansas Municipal League congratulates city of Siloam Springs Board of Directors Member Bob Coleman for achieving the status of Certified Municipal Official through the League's Voluntary Certified Continuing Education Program. In addition, Mayor John Mark Turner completed the requirements to renew his certification.

The certified municipal officials were honored at the League's 2017 Winter Conference, held Jan. 11 through Jan. 13 in Little Rock. Numerous municipal officials representing cities and towns from across the state completed 21 hours of study in subjects such as procedural rules, budgeting, personnel management, methods of effective leadership and more.

To maintain certification, graduates must complete six hours of continuing education classes each year. The program continues in 2017 with classes held at the League's North Little Rock headquarters and in June at the League's Annual Convention in Little Rock.

The Arkansas Municipal League is a service and advocacy organization for the municipalities of Arkansas. The League offers its programs and services to 500 cities and towns in Arkansas and was created in 1934 to assist cities with information and representation in the public affairs of our state and nation.
