Lexington, KY- The Kentucky League of Cities (KLC) recently recognized Morgantown Assistant ABC Administrator Dana Phelps with a KLC Level III award for Master of City Governance.

KLC administers the City Officials Training Center (COTC), a voluntary education program. City officials can complete education levels by attending KLC events and submitting outside educational credit from other municipal training.

“Our cities are essential to shaping the future of Kentucky. The KLC COTC program aims to ensure the local leaders managing our cities have the most up-to-date knowledge and information needed to lead their communities. This award is a testament of Ms. Phelps’ service and dedication,” said KLC Executive Director/CEO J.D. Chaney.

"The City of Morgantown strongly encourages all of our employees to continue their education,” responded Morgantown Mayor Billy Phelps. “It not only helps the employee, but it also helps the city to provide the best resources to the citizens of Morgantown. Dana is the perfect example of an employee that is working for her community."

The Level III Master of City Governance award requires a city official to attend 90 hours of approved training with three hours of ethics training.
