Torch Program Recognizes Dedication to Continuing Education and Service
Aug 9, 2017
This voluntary and self-reported program is for elected officials who are seeking continuing education to enhance their own knowledge and skills in order to better serve the public.
Each year, officials from throughout the state earn recognition as they progress upward through three sequential levels of achievement:
To honor your achievements, a recognition ceremony before your colleagues will be held at the department meeting at the League’s Annual Conference. Alternatively, you can choose to be recognized in your own city at an appropriate occasion and/or via a press release provided by the League. Upon completion of levels two and three, you will be awarded an Academy Graduation Certificate and lapel pin.
A list of mayors and council members who have received recognition since 2003 is available on the League website.
