TCMA would like to recognize TCMA members who have reached service milestones. The service awards honor TCMA members who have been “Full” or “Associate” members and in full-time service as an appointed employee of a local government entity for a minimum of 20 years. Although TCMA and ICMA are similar organizations, the criteria for service awards are not identical. TCMA service years are determined by number of years as a TCMA Full or Associate member rather than number of membership years.
Listed below are the names of those persons who have been identified as meeting the criteria necessary to receive TCMA service awards. Please review this list and contact Kim Pendergraft at [email protected] or 512-231-7400 by May 1 if you know of any deserving members who should be included, or if you can offer any corrections to the list. These individuals will be recognized at the TCMA Annual Conference Awards Luncheon on Friday, June 27.
