The Banner City/Town Program bestows formal recognition each year to cities and towns that have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to MML programs and activities. This program serves as a guidepost on how to make the most of your MML membership.
If a representative from your municipality attended the summer and fall conference and conducted a Municipal Government Works (MGW) month activity, your journey continues for your Banner City/Town designation.
Remain in contention for your 2026 Banner City/Town designation by working with your officials to complete the following criteria by May 11:
- Attend half of your chapter's events/activities
- Conduct a school visit (any age, any level) to explain municipal government and its benefits
- Check the list for opportunities to meet Criteria 5.
