NEWS RELEASE: Town of Mead Mayor & Trustee Receive Leadership Training Awards 

July 6, 2016- As of July 2016 Mayor Gary Shields and Trustee Colleen Whitlow have reached a milestone in the Colorado Municipal League’s MUNIversity program.  Each of these individuals have reached the Fundamental level of the program meaning they have each earned at least thirty training hours in the program. 

Colorado Municipal League is a great resource for cities and towns who want to lead their communities in a proactive, educational manner.  They offer classes, opportunities for government agencies to work together and learn from each other, and they provide services and resources to assist municipal officials in serving their community. 

"I would like to thank CML for providing educational events and opportunities that increase my knowledge of municipal government and enhance my ability to lead," stated Trustee Whitlow.

According to CML’s news release, “This program was started in January 1991 by the League’s Executive Board to recognize the efforts of officials who go the extra mile to increase their knowledge of municipal government and their capacity to lead.” 

Mayor Gary Shields states, "As your Mayor, I have made it a priority to educate myself on the different functions of our state and town. CML has provided a great platform of education with the MUNIversity program and I am honored to be recognized in those efforts. I firmly believe that without education, we are destined to repeat failure and that is why this opportunity has been so valuable to me".
