SEBASTIAN — The City of Sebastian announced that Council Member Ed Dodd has been awarded the Gold Certificate of Excellence from the Florida League of Cities’ (FLC) Certificate Program for Elected Municipal Officials.
The FLC’s certificate program recognizes municipal officials for their dedication to training and continuing education. The program includes three levels of achievement: the Bronze Certificate of Merit, the Silver Certificate of Leadership, and the Gold Certificate of Excellence, the highest honor.
“The Florida League of Cities continues to offer outstanding educational opportunities for municipal leaders at every stage of their public service,” said Michael C. Blake, FLC President and Mayor of Cocoa. “By participating in the FLC’s training opportunities, elected leaders are strengthening their knowledge, growing professionally, and ensuring they are prepared to meet the needs of their communities with confidence and integrity.”
Dodd earned the Gold Certificate by accumulating points through participation in FLC training events, such as monthly webinars, online orientations, the Institute for Elected Municipal Officials (IEMO I and II), State-Mandated Continuing Education in Ethics, and the League’s Annual Conference and legislative events.
Certificate recipients at all levels will be recognized in the FLC’s online magazine, Quality Cities, and at the organization’s Annual Conference.
