SAVANNAH – The City of Marietta is pleased to announce Councilman Philip Goldstein received the prestigious Certificate of Dedication award from the Harold F. Holtz Municipal Training Institute during the Georgia Municipal Association’s (GMA) Annual Convention in Savannah on Sunday, June 25.

The Harold F. Holtz Municipal Training Institute, a cooperative effort of GMA and the University of Georgia’s Carl Vinson Institute of Government, provides a nationally recognized series of training opportunities for city officials. The Certificate of Dedication requires 276 hours of training, including at least 108 hours from a required list of classes, 18 hours of which must be from a new Advanced Leadership track, and the Robert E. Knox, Jr. Municipal Leadership Institute. After obtaining the Certificate of Dedication, officials must complete nine hours of continuing education each year to maintain the certificate. The training program consists of a series of more than 60 courses.

Goldstein was one of only 10 city officials to receive the Certificate of Dedication at the Annual Convention.

“This is outstanding achievement truly speaks to the dedication shown by these recipients,” said GMA Executive Director Lamar Norton. “As one of the inaugural recipients of the Certificate of Dedication, we commend Councilmember Goldstein for this accomplishment and for the commitment he’s shown in using this valuable resource to become a more effective city official. Councilmember Goldstein serves as an example to other city officials across the state.”

“The dedication shown by these ten public servants from across the state to enhance their skills and knowledge of municipal governance is remarkable,” said Stacy Jones, interim director for the UGA Carl Vinson Institute of Government. “Their commitment to education means they are bringing back tools, insights, knowledge, resources and networks to strengthen their cities. The Institute of Government is proud to partner with GMA to make this expanded training opportunity available to Georgia’s city leaders.”

 

Based in Atlanta, GMA is a voluntary, non-profit organization that provides legislative advocacy, research, training, employee benefit and technical consulting services to its 521 member cities.
