Municipal Leadership Academy


Registration is now open for the 2025-2026 Municipal Leadership Academy! MLA is held after the regular city elections with Part One offered before the new mayor and council terms begin to give newly elected officials an opportunity to learn the basics of municipal government. MLA Part One will begin December 2025 and will also offer attendees an opportunity to satisfy the recently adopted state legislation requirement for all new elected officials to complete open meetings/open records training. The classes are also a great refresher course for veteran elected officials and city staff!
