The Florida League of Cities is proud to bring you the Institute for Elected Municipal Officials (IEMO).
Created in 1992, the Institute for Elected Municipal Officials (IEMO) program is a comprehensive educational initiative designed to equip municipal elected officials with the knowledge, skills, and tools necessary to govern their municipalities effectively.
The curriculum covers various aspects of municipal governance through interactive and educational workshops led by experienced instructors, as well as offering peer-to-peer learning and networking.
The program includes three levels: IEMO I, IEMO II and FLC Leadership.

IEMO I is specially designed for newly elected officials and those with less than one term in office. Workshops include an overview of Florida municipal government and intergovernmental relations, strategies and best practices for effective councils, budgeting and accounting, taxes and other revenue sources, and parliamentary procedures.
