Advanced Institute for Elected Municipal Officials
The Florida League of Cities and the John Scott Dailey Florida Institute of Government are proud to bring you the Advanced IEMO. Begun in 1993, this program is a continuation of the very successful Institute for Elected Municipal Officials (IEMO). Hundreds of mayors, council members and commissioners have participated in this highly rated course.
The Advanced IEMO is reserved for participants and graduates of the IEMO, or those elected city officials who have completed one or more terms in office. Participants will be asked through the registration process which criteria they meet. This intensive two-day program, held on a Friday and Saturday, features four classes and two workshop-style lunches.
Instructors have been selected for their ability to convey important information in a participatory style. Class size is limited, so please register early. Contact Gail Dennard at the Florida League of Cities at 1-(800) 342-8112 if you have questions or need more information.
