The International Municipal Lawyers Association (IMLA) recently honored Murfreesboro City Attorney Susan Emery McGannon by giving her the Joseph I. Mulligan Distinguished Public Service Award for 2008.
The award is given to honor a local government attorney for “significant and surpassing achievements in the field of local government law.” Recipients must also have enhanced the image of the local government attorney through the personal characteristics of integrity, honesty, leadership, selflessness, dedication, tact, diplomacy, political acuity and astuteness.
McGannon was nominated for the prestigious award by attorneys from other Tennessee cities. She was previously designated by IMLA as a Local Government Fellow, the only Tennessean to be certified since the Fellows program began in 1999.
McGannon received a second, and independent, honor from IMLA when she was nominated and elected to serve on the Board of Directors at its 73rd annual conference recently held in Las Vegas, Nev.
IMLA has been a resource for American and Canadian local government attorneys since 1935. It provides a clearing house for information, continuing education programs, a specialization certification program and assistance in litigation and legislative drafting.
