Testimonials

"This program changed the way we do business in our city. Our Council meetings are streamlined and civil. The Councilors and staff have become more of a team. The public has noticed the change and is beginning to act accordingly. I hope this change will continue long after I have left my position."

"I was surprised to learn that so many cities have the same problems on different scales and levels. These classes gave me the tools to make a significant change in my community."

"The subjects of the courses were exactly what I needed to learn but didn't know that I did. This is the only place I can find these classes and getting to know other councilors from around the state is the icing on the cake."

"I wish my whole governing body would attend these sessions.  After 15 years in office I thought I knew it all but these classes taught me more in one week than 15 years on the job."

"Every class was structured specifically for New Mexico municipal elected officials.  No other program in the state offers what MOLI does."

"Great session - better than I had expected it to be. The whole session was fun and informative. That combination is hard to find. I loved hearing from the attorneys."

"The speakers in this session were top-notch. I don't think a more expert group of presenters could have been assembled. I wish I could have filmed videos of the whole week to take back to the rest of my council."

"I don't think most of us know what we don't know. That, for me, has been the best part of these programs - that, and hearing from other communities about what they do and how they solve problems."

"I think the program should be required for all elected officials. "
