LEXINGTON, KY – The Kentucky League of Cities (KLC) presented Benton Councilmember Laura Craynon with a Level I Achievement in City Governance award.
KLC administers the City Officials Training Center, a voluntary education program. City officials can complete education levels by attending KLC events and submitting outside educational credit from other municipal training.
“Kentucky cities play an essential role in shaping the commonwealth’s future. KLC is committed to ensuring the elected and appointed city officials who manage our municipal governments have the ongoing and expansive training they need to serve their communities,” said KLC Executive Director/CEO J.D. Chaney.
The KLC City Officials Training Center offers four tiers of recognition based on the number of training hours participants complete in city governance and ethics. KLC proudly honors city employees’ and elected officials’ commitment to public service.
Benton Mayor Rita Dotson serves as KLC president, after taking the oath of office in September.
