 As the Society of Local Government Managers entered the
twenty-second century, it like many other organizations and professions
looked for a way to celebrate the new millennium and acknowledge the
contributions Society members have made and continue to make in the field
of Local Government Administration. In 2002 the SLGM Award of Excellence
became a reality with the support and sponsorship of the legal firm of
Brownlee Fryett.
The SLGM Award of Excellence recognizes the efforts, contributions and
continuing learning process individuals make in their pursuit of excellence
and desire to have a positive impact on or in their community in relation
to the field of local government management. This award is open to any
regular, associate, or student member of the Society of Local Government
Managers.
Annually, each board member has the challenging task of reviewing the
individual nominations for this prestigious award and forwarding his
nomination to Brownlee Fryett who has one vote and as the final judge,
and the only individuals aware who the successful candidate is. Nominees
are judged on criteria that include the continued pursuit of education
and or professional development, exemplary service and dedication in
the field of local government administration, their impact on the profession
of local government management, and attendance at the Municipal Administration
Leadership Workshop and Awards Ceremony.
The SLGM Award of Excellence is presented at the Awards Banquet during
the Annual Municipal Administration Leadership Workshop by a member of
the firm of Brownlee LLP. The award consists of a keepsake bronze buffalo
crafted by Cornie Martens of the Lost Wax Bronze Ltd. along with a cash
award of $3,000 to be spent on a continuing education course of study.
