The Academy for Excellence in Local Governance held is graduation ceremony on the College Park campus this week, honoring 92 county and municipal officials who completed the extensive coursework toward their certificate.
The University of Maryland, MACo, and the Maryland Municipal League have jointly sponsored the Academy for Excellence in Local Governance for years. The effort promotes local officials to seek out expansive training in topics relevant to their service, and awards a certificate upon the program’s completion.

The event was marked by an introduction from from the Univeristy’s School of Public Policy faculty leaders, and comments from Gaithersburg City Council Member Ryan Speigel, a former Academy graduate and current President of the Maryland Municipal League.
