2022 Employee Recognition Calendar

Municipal employees are among the hardest working in our communities. Front line and first responder services over the past two years highlighted the commitment of city employees. The Kentucky League of Cities Member Relations team created a calendar of city-related recognition days, weeks, and months. The calendar can help city officials take simple steps to recognize municipal employees, acknowledge diversity, and highlight public safety and health issues.
