Our Certified Connecticut Municipal Officials program is among the most popular offerings at CCM — with programs and workshops taught by experts and peers, as well as events like the CCM Convention and Emergency Management Symposium to earn you credits, becoming a CCMO is a no-brainer. Don’t trust us, though, hear from graduates!
I have thoroughly enjoyed the Certified Municipal Officer program through the Connecticut Conference of Municipalities. I decided to join this program to broaden my knowledge base about municipal government, whether it be in the realm of finance and bonding, labor relations, the Freedom of Information Act, environmental initiatives, or the expansion of personal and professional growth. I hope to be able to better serve my community with the foundational principles explored during this program and I look forward to the follow-up courses intended to keep my certification current.
I chose to begin the CCMO program because I wanted to deepen my knowledge and skills as a municipal leader, specifically in areas that directly impact the community I serve. The program’s comprehensive curriculum and focus on practical, real-world applications were exactly what I was looking for. What I liked most about CCMO was the opportunity to connect with other municipal professionals, exchange ideas, and learn from their experiences. The courses offered a broad spectrum of knowledge, from leadership strategies to financial management, which I found incredibly valuable. Through this program, I’ve gained insights into best practices that I can apply directly to my role in Plainville. It has reinforced the importance of staying updated with evolving municipal trends and has equipped me with tools to drive effective change and innovation in local government.
We’re always looking to elevate the CCMO program to create an even more meaningful and engaging experience for our members to help you advance in your municipal careers. Keep an eye out for future partnerships and email updates over the year.
