Come visit our Booth at the Mississippi Municipal League Conference to be held in Biloxi - July 13th-16th!!


The Mississippi Public Works Leadership Institute is a non-credit certificate program designed to provide a career ladder for both new and experienced public works leaders, supervisors and managers.  This program will provide expanded knowledge of ten core topic areas provided by the American Public Works Association.  For additional information, please visit www.jsums.edu/cll

The Mississippi Chapter of American Public Works Association held its 2008 annual spring conference in Madison.  The event started with a golf tournament at Deerfield Golf Club.  It was a beautiful spring day - the days we love in the South.  After the golf tournament, an awards dinner was held in the clubhouse.  A special achievement service award was given to Mr. Buddy Spring who is retiring this year. On Friday, the Honorable Mayor Mary Hawkins Butler welcomed our group to her city.  She has a reputation of being strong willed and determined with the appearance of new buildings in her city and the demands she places on developers. She deserves to be commended on a well done job - the city is gorgeous!  Other speakers included Mel McGowan, Matt Mills, Randy Ahlrich with Burns Cooley Dennis, Tony Caldwell and Tom Webb from MDEQ, and Dan Munger from MEMA.  During lunch, we held our business meeting.  Minutes of this meeting are available online. 

We will be participating in the annual Mississippi Municipal League meeting in Biloxi in June.  We encourage our members to get involved with this conference. 

Our fall conference will be held in October in Rankin County.  The cities of Brandon and Richland will be hosting this meeting.
