An elected official from each voting municipality must be present at the meeting when the roll is called in order to receive a ballot. Only elected officials may sign for and receive voting credentials, and only elected officials may cast the municipality’s vote. In order to vote, the municipality must have paid its 2023 LMA dues in full by July 21, 2023. Only one vote per municipality may be cast. SERVICE AWARDS Each year the LMA recognizes Service Award recipients. These service awards honor elected municipal officials who have served sufficiently well to earn continual and repeated re-election to positions of authority in their respective municipalities. Indeed, election to a position of municipal authority is a great honor and privilege. But re-election is an extremely high honor reflecting the trust and confidence each long-term municipal official has earned through many years of dedicated public service. These Service Awards pay fitting tribute to such unparalleled achievement. Eligibility To be eligible to receive this award, you must be an elected official who has served for four, six, eight, etc. TERMS in office. Members who have served for four terms will receive a four-star silver service award; six terms will receive a six-star gold service award; and eight terms will receive an eight-star diamond service award. Contact Penny Ambeau-Scott, Membership Service Coordinator, at pambeau@lma.org or (225) 332-7639 for more information on Service Awards. LMR | JULY 2023 Page 23
