Jennifer Gast displays her award she received from the North Dakota League of Cities.
Jennifer Gast, auditor for the city of Carrington, received the Leadership Training Program 110% Award from the North Dakota League of Cities (NDLC) during their Spring Workshop in Minot held March 19-20.
The North Dakota League of Cities' Leadership Training Program recognizes city leaders for their dedication, time, and commitment to making their communities better places to live. Award recipients receive credits in the Leadership Training Program by attending conferences and training events sponsored by the NDLC.
"Those who take part in the program have a genuine interest in personal and professional development," said Jennifer Makelky, communications and training manager for the North Dakota League of Cities. "Participation in the program directly benefits the future of their city and its residents."
Fourteen LTP participants were recognized for achieving the first level, or "Innovator" award (30 hours of training), five city leaders achieved the "Visionary" award (60 hours of training), 12 individuals achieved the "Leader" award (100 hours of training), and four individuals received the "110%" award, which requires 200 hours of training.
The NDLC provides service, advocacy, leadership, education, and support for North Dakota's 355 incorporated cities. The LTP is the cornerstone of the NDLC's commitment to providing city officials with the tools they need to govern effectively.
