Fritzler Elected to IML

Received the following press release this afternoon:

Last week, the Illinois Municipal League held its 100th Annual Conference in Chicago. Over 1,500 mayors, council members, and local officials attended and recognized IML’s “Century of Service to Illinois Municipalities.” The IML Conference is the gathering place for education, in-depth working sessions, and learning about new laws and responsibilities for municipalities and municipal officials. It is also where new officers are elected to lead the IML’s 1,124 municipal-membership.
           
On Saturday, October 19, 2013, the IML membership elected 36 Vice Presidents to take a leadership role within the statewide organization. Mayor Joel Fritzler was elected to serve as one of the Vice Presidents. This is a vital, active Board that carries out the mission of the IML.

The Illinois Municipal League is Illinois’ statewide lobby and education organization whose special interest is the people, so municipalities can have a powerful resource and voice in Springfield. IML’s mission is to keep decision making local.

Mayor Fritzler said, “I am honored to represent Carbondale and Southern Illinois in this statewide organization. Interacting with other elected municipal officials and the Illinois Municipal League will keep me informed of innovation and change taking place in Illinois.”
