Officials enrolled in Level Two: Leadership Award may attend as many elective courses, seminars, webinars, and other educational programs as they would like.
Courses offered by non-League private or public entities qualify for EOA credit if they relate to your job as a local official (agenda and proof of attendance must be submitted).
Non-League class, full-day - 3 credits
Non-League class, half-day - 1 credit
Non-League conferences, multi-day - 3 credits.
League and Non-League webinars - 1 credit
All regularly scheduled League programs qualify for EOA Elective Course credit. A list of upcoming programs can be found here. Available League courses are likely to vary in response to the changing needs of local governments. Programs are typically offered in three- to six-hour sessions, primarily during the work week, in different locations throughout the state. The number of credits a League program earns is usually equal to its duration in hours. For example, a 3-hour course will typically earn 3 elective credits.
Advanced Weekenders
Participating in Advanced Weekenders is a great way to earn Elective credits for EOA Level Two (and Three). These weekend-length seminars are offered by the League twice a year (February and May) to provide you with opportunities to deepen your knowledge of municipal issues after having completed the Core Weekender. The Advanced Weekenders are presented on a rotating schedule of topics, so you can attend multiple times to learn about a variety of subjects including leadership development and municipal finance & budgeting. Each Advanced Weekender earns 9 EOA Elective credits.
Credits will be given for attendance at any of the following League or National League of Cities (NLC) events:
Advocacy credits can be obtained by participating in the following legislative activities:
Additional credits may be awarded by the EOA board.
* The entire council will receive credit for this.
** When meeting with legislators, please send us a photo and topic discussed.
Earn Leadership credits by serving in the following League or NLC roles. Service includes attendance at a majority of the scheduled meetings.
If you have a question about a leadership role you do not see on the list, please email Emily Kieliszewski, Membership Engagement Specialist, at emilyk@mml.org or phone her at 517-908-0302, and she will let you know if it qualifies.
Note: Participation with service organizations such as United Way, Lions Club, Rotary Club, Kiwanis, American Legion, VFW, Elks Club, community foundations, and historical societies, only earns EOA Leadership credits if you served as chair.
Officials who complete the EOA Level Two: Leadership Award will be honored with a pin and a plaque recognizing the accomplishment, presented at the League's annual Capital Conference.
A special award will be presented at the Capital Conference for any council or commission in which all current members have completed one or more levels of the Academy. Your community is responsible for notifying the League if this achievement is reached.
