Your Town Alabama - Designing Its Future

Elected officials, tap in! Your Town Alabama welcomed 11 mayors and councilors to our annual workshop this year. Participating communities include Town of Akron, City of Attalla, Town of Boligee, Town of Brantley, Town of Coosada, City of Dadeville, City of Hamilton, City of Jasper, City of Margaret, and Town of Newville. We can't wait to see what these public servants achieve in their communities!

If you're an elected official, the YTA workshop is approved for 3 CMO Credit Hours through the Alabama League of Municipalities' Certified Municipal Official Program. That means officials working toward their Basic or Advanced Certification can apply these hours directly to their credential.

Your Town Alabama would not be possible without the support of our incredible sponsors. By supporting Your Town Alabama, these organizations are helping the development of citizen leaders who have the skills to determine their community’s future. Thank you to our 2026 workshop sponsors!
