Update Information for the Annual Texas City Officials Directory
Each year, TML contacts cities to update information for the annual Texas City Officials Directory. This update is vital to providing our member city officials with the benefits of TML membership.
You will be receiving a survey in the mail, but if you update your city’s information online, you will be automatically registered to win your city a $100 credit for registration to any TML training event.
To update your city’s information online, go to the TML Membership Update page on the TML Web site. If you need to request your login and password, please e-mail us at database@tml.org. When updating your city’s information, please be sure to verify both the mailing addresses and the e-mail addresses of all city officials in your city.
Texas Association of Former Municipal Officials (TAFMO)
Each year, the League loses contact with many veteran elected and appointed officials as they conclude their time in public service to Texas cities. With these departures, the knowledge and experience these former city officials gained over the years are lost to TML. The Texas Association of Former Municipal Officials (TAFMO) provides an opportunity for former municipal officials and TML to stay in touch. Benefits include a subscription to Texas Town & City magazine, special registration rates to the TML Annual Conference and Exhibition, and the opportunity to network with former colleagues.
TAFMO membership information can be found at TAFMO.
It’s Time for Show and Tell: Apply for a Texas Municipal League Municipal Excellence Award
The Texas Municipal League Municipal Excellence Awards recognize and encourage the achievements of Texas cities in meeting the challenge of municipal government. The competition is divided into two population categories—cities less than 25,000 in population and cities over 25,000 in population. Within each of the two population categories, there are five subject categories—management innovations, communication programs, city spirit, public safety, and public works. The deadline to submit applications is June 8, 2012.
The award application and submittal guidelines can be found in the Texas Municipal League Municipal Excellence Award section of the TML Web site.
