Municipal League Centennial Celebration and 2010 Civic Awards


On March 18th the Municipal League hosted its Centennial Celebration Dinner.  During this special evening we took a look at the issues the Municipal League has tackled through the years and joined together to support the League’s mission of promoting local government that is open, effective and accountable, and improves the caliber of public officials and the quality of public decisions.
