Garcia awarded certified municipal official status

The Arkansas Municipal League recently awarded District 5 City Director Karen Garcia continued status as a Certified Municipal Official through the League’s Voluntary Certified Continuing Education Program. 
Garcia, along with numerous mayors, aldermen, city managers and directors representing municipalities from across the state, completed 21 hours of study over the course of a year in subjects such as procedural rules, municipal land use, planning and zoning, budgeting, methods of effective leadership and more. To maintain certification, graduates must complete six hours of continuing education classes each year. 
The program continues in 2013 with classes held at the League’s North Little Rock headquarters and in June at the League’s Annual Convention in Hot Springs. 
The Arkansas Municipal League is a service and advocacy organization for the state’s municipalities. The League has a voluntary membership comprised of all 500 cities and towns in the state and was created in 1934 to assist cities with information and representation in the public affairs of the state and nation.
