1. INTRODUCTION/PURPOSE


As a member city of the Texas Municipal League, the City may cast a vote for the Director of Texas Municipal League Region 10, which includes our area.

 

Previously, elections for regional directors were held at regional meetings. After changes to the TML Constitution were approved last year, these elections are now administered by TML centrally.

 

TML has 15 regions, and each has a seat on the Board. During even-numbered years, the even-numbered regions are up for election. Terms are two years, and new terms will begin on October 11, 2024, upon adjournment of the TML Annual Conference and end on November 13, 2026, upon adjournment of the TML Annual Conference.
