The Association of Washington Cities conference is held each year in a different city in Washington State, and is a gathering of elected Mayors and Council-members, as well as City Managers and Administrators from cities statewide.
The conference affords networking and information sharing among participants, as well as training opportunities in the areas of public sector resource management, roles, responsibilities, and legal requirements, community planning and development, and effective local leadership.
They also provide the latest information available on new laws and regulations being considered by the legislature. The training and information sharing allow elected officials to broaden their expertise and effectiveness.
John, who holds a seat on the Lake Forest Park City Council, reports,
"After 18 months in office I was able to earn CML certification (Certified Municipal Leader) from AWC, and with this conference I will be certified as an Advanced CML
"During this conference we worked on a coalition between Lake Forest Park, Shoreline, Kenmore, Bothell, and Woodinville on investment in the SR-522 corridor, as well as other issues.
"As usual, attendance is well worth it!"
