Rockville Earns 'Banner City' Designation from Maryland
Municipal League
ROCKVILLE, Md., June 9, 2011 — The City of Rockville was one
of 44 cities and towns in Maryland to earn the Maryland Municipal League (MML)
distinction of Banner City/Town. This is Rockville's first year to apply for
and earn the MML designation.
The program formally recognizes Maryland cities and towns
that have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to MML programs and activities
through the involvement of their elected and appointed officials. Cities and
towns must meet five requirements for consideration in the program. Those
include participating in the "If I were Mayor…" contest, supporting
Municipal Government Works Month, attending MML chapter meetings, participating
in the annual convention and fall conference, and participation in an MML outlined
service activity.
"I'm very proud that Rockville earned the designation
for the first time," said Mayor Phyllis Marcuccio. "The work that the
Maryland Municipal League does is vital to the cities and towns in Maryland,
and Rockville is better able to enhance the quality of life for residents
because of our work with the group."
MML was founded in 1936 and represents 157 municipal
governments and two special taxing districts throughout the state of Maryland.
The organization is a voluntary, non-profit, nonpartisan association controlled
and maintained by city and town governments, and it works to strengthen and
support municipal government through advocacy and the development of effective
leadership.
