Mayor & Council at IACT NEOT

Huntingburg Mayor Denny Spinner and council members Glen Kissling, Kerry Blessinger, Tim Wehr and Jeff Bounds recently attended Indiana Association of Cities and Towns’ (IACT) Newly Elected Officials Training, which was held on January 20 and 21, 2016 in Indianapolis, Ind. The purpose of the training is to “provide basic information and tools for city and town officials, helping them manage their first weeks in office and build a foundation for a successful term.”  

“I attended the training four years ago as a newly-elected mayor and it helped immensely in my first term,” says Mayor Spinner. “I have great confidence that the incoming council members, as well as the returning members and myself, will use the training we received this week to benefit the city in the next four years.”  

IACT was established in 1891 to provide Indiana municipal officials a means to congregate, educate and advocate their interests before the state and federal governments. Indiana is one of the first states to form a municipal association, and IACT has a rich tradition of serving municipal government and elected officials. A not-for-profit organization, IACT represents municipalities before state lawmakers, and provides education and information to members. With more than 460 municipalities as members, IACT is the official voice of municipal government in Indiana.
