City Awards
As part of AWC’s mission to help create & maintain livable cities and town throughout the state, AWC works to help recognize individual and citywide achievements that improve local communities as well as leadership in city halls throughout our state.
To help accomplish this goal, AWC offers the following programs.
Certificate of Municipal Leadership
AWC’s Certificate of Municipal Leadership (CML) program strives to encourage local elected officials to seek professional development opportunities that will: 1) Provide core knowledge necessary for municipal governance; 2) Provide high-level technical training to solve critical municipal issues, and; 3) Develop and strengthen local elected officials’ leadership skills.
For more detailed information, visit the CML Homepage.
Municipal Excellence Awards
AWC’s Municipal Excellence Awards promote and recognize innovative and effective city government programs that significantly improve the quality of life in local communities. Whether a city has overcome funding obstacles to make infrastructure improvements or created a unique collaborate partnership within their region, you can find projects in the searchable Awards database that might benefit your community.
