Grants Workshop Helps Municipalities Earn More Cash
Valerie Silvers of Stillwater shares her expertise on our Grants Administrator panel.

The Oklahoma Municipal League held a Grants Workshop last Friday at Rose State College in Midwest City. With over 80 municipal officials and employees in attendance, it's safe to say that the event was a success. In addition, 6 organizations were present, offering one-on-one time with participants. Not only did registrants hear from the best on the actual grant writing process, but they were also presented with information from the various organizations that offer grant opportunities and resources to Oklahoma cities and towns. That's right, straight from the horse's mouth - so to speak.

The Congress of Mayors offers Mayors & Vice Mayors from around the State the opportunity to participate in an actual legislative session.
