The Municipal Leadership Institute will provide you with the training you need to solve and plan for problems that impact you & your municipality before they arise. Presentations by area experts will be given on timely issues and requested topics that confront today’s local elected officials. Exhibits will open at 10:30 a.m. on October 3. This unique showcase will offer an excellent opportunity for vendors & municipal officials to meet. Plan to connect with exhibitors and discover valuable tools for solutions to problems as well as innovative ideas for future planning.

To ensure that there are no duplicate registrations, each registrant must use a separate email address. We encourage each registrant to use their own email address, or obtain one, and register on-line. You can go to Gmail.com or Yahoo.com to create a free email account if you do not already have an email address.

Payment in full must be received by the deadline above, or the registrations will be subject to the onsite registration fee amount. The astronomical cost of putting on the MLI makes it impossible to allow free admittance of guests of delegates at any function of the MLI agenda. Delegates are urged to pre-register their spouse/guest for the MLI lunch.

PLEASE NOTE: You may register online and mail in your check for payment. However, if payment is not received by September 19, your registration is NOT confirmed and will be subject to the On-Site registration fee of $175.

The League’s CMO Graduation Ceremony for those who have earned their Basic, Advanced, and Emeritus CMO designations will follow the 2019 Municipal Leadership Institute.  Registrants of the MLI will be sent information regarding the CMO Graduation Ceremony.
