The City Officials Academy is an in-depth training event designed to empower city officials with the knowledge, skills, and resources essential for effective leadership. Over two-and-a-half days, participants will engage in interactive sessions on the following key topics:

  • General City Government Operations
  • Open Meetings and Open Records
  • Budget and Taxation
  • Procurement
  • Parliamentary Procedure

Every session is tailored to meet the unique needs of city officials. This program is ideal for newly elected officials, recently appointed leaders, and seasoned professionals seeking a comprehensive refresher on the fundamentals of city governance.

Attendees will also receive a complimentary copy of the latest City Officials Legal Handbook, an invaluable $50 resource. 

Join us for this dynamic learning experience, connect with fellow leaders, and gain practical insights that will make a difference in your community!

New This Year: KLC is offering a "Ready to Win" Leadership Preconference with former UK Women's Basketball Coach Matthew Mitchell on January 14. Participants must register for the half-day workshop separately. City Officials Academy registration and costs do not cover the separate preconference event.
