Florida League of Cities


The FLC University is proud to bring you the Institute for Elected Municipal Officials (IEMO).


Our team has developed multiple levels of training designed specifically for municipal officials of all levels, including the Leadership Academy for graduates of IEMO I and II. The IEMO and Leadership Academy are offered at different locations throughout the state and has assisted thousands of elected officials since its creation in 1992.

The primary objective of the IEMO is to provide elected municipal officials with an intensive academic program that will assist them in effectively meeting the requirements of their elected role. The program offers a comprehensive overview of Florida municipal government, presented by a faculty of top professionals in the field.
