Each year the Mayors Council of Oklahoma convenes the Congress of Mayors bringing Mayors, Vice Mayors, Council Members, and City Managers from across Oklahoma to the State Capitol to debate issues facing municipalities. Your participation is vital to the success of this initiative. The OML Staff and MCO Board of Directors will assist you and help answer any questions you may have. 

The Tribal Municipal Symposium was established to provide a forum in which ideas concerning common municipal issues could be exchanged amongst peers in a community building environment. It is our goal that through building communication streams, unity, and combining shared resources, an enhanced commonality between tribes and municipalities will be created. There is much more that unites us than divides us and the best way to unite is through communication and establishing a shared vision. 

The Oklahoma Municipal League will be hosting these events throughout the State, and we invite you to attend to hear from both tribal leaders and municipal officials as we work together to find solutions that affect all Oklahomans. We hope you will join us from 8:30-3:30 on February 20, in Hochatown, OK, at the Choctaw Landing. More Information and Registration
