Members of city and village councils face many challenges in their leadership roles – how to do more with less money, how to govern. Your efforts to become an informed leader are often unrecognized.

With this in mind, the League has established the Elected Officials Academy, which offers expanded educational opportunity for elected officials. More programs, and a broader array, will be offered to mayors, presidents, councilmembers, commissioners and trustees and elected administrative officials such as clerks and treasurers as an opportunity to expand their knowledge and expertise. All elected city and village officials are invited to participate. Since the inception of the program in July 1997, over 90 elected officials have completed Level One, 50 have completed Level Two, and 40 have completed Level Three.

By successfully completing each level of the Academy, you will receive recognition by the League of your achievement. Of even greater importance is the fact that your community will benefit from the education and experience that you will gain. Your acceptance of the challenge of learning will better equip you to fulfill the important responsibility of volunteer leadership. You will have the satisfaction of demonstrating to your community and peers leadership competence in carrying out your duties as an elected city or village official.
