When the Woman’s Club of Westminster recently unveiled its 2011 holiday ornament, I pondered that this creative fundraising idea is just one more example of the ways the club has supported our community over the years.

For the past eight years, the Woman’s Club’s annual Christmas ornament has featured an historic building in Westminster.

That’s fitting, because for the past 100 years, the club has been a formidable force in the community, advocating for issues such as — but not limited to — a cannon, typhoid fever, consumption, the minimum wage, cholera, women’s suffrage, the League of Nations, raising chickens, drug dealing in American prisons, a new high school, trees, parks and flies. And also fly swatters.

According to the Maryland Municipal League website:

Conference Workshops and Special Sessions

This year, attendees will have the opportunity to attend eleven workshops, three of which are Academy core classes and three are Academy electives. The Academy core classes at this year’s conference are Ethics, Open Meetings, and Employment Issues.

This year’s three Academy elective workshops will address a variety of issues of importance impacting every city or town, regardless of size or location. An environmentally focused workshop will provide updates on Maryland’s Watershed Implementation Plan, the ongoing effort to curtail future growth on septic systems, and best practices for curtailing stormwater runoff in urban settings.  

A second Academy elective workshop will provide an overview of several of Maryland’s most popular municipal grant programs. Speakers at a third Academy elective workshop will talk about enhancing municipal business development opportunities through the use of property tax credits and provide an overview the Maryland’s newly developed program to expedite development projects

There will be three additional workshops at this year’s conference. One workshop will provide an update on Maryland’s current law pertaining to Miss Utility and an overview of how to best implement a stormwater utility fee; Howard County Executive Ken Ulman will discuss Maryland’s expanding
broadband opportunities across the State; and a third session will give attendees an overview of the just-completed Maryland Department of Planning’s PlanMaryland initiative.

In response to feedback generated at last year’s conference, a special session has been included in this year’s conference schedule to allow attendees to better understand the legislative process and how to improve interaction with members of their legislative delegation when advocating on behalf of their municipality and the League in general.

As a follow up to the Large City and Small Town Forums held at the 2011 annual convention in Ocean City, time has been set aside in the conference schedule to allow elected and appointed officials from Maryland’s municipalities to meet and discuss issues pertinent to both large and small cities and towns

The fall conference is also the venue for several other groups to meet. The MML Board of Directors and the Maryland Mayors Association will both meet on Monday, October 31. The MML Legislative/Resolutions Committee will also meet if necessary.
