Rockville Earns 'Banner City' Designation from Maryland Municipal League

ROCKVILLE, Md., June 9, 2011 — The City of Rockville was one of 44 cities and towns in Maryland to earn the Maryland Municipal League (MML) distinction of Banner City/Town. This is Rockville's first year to apply for and earn the MML designation.

The program formally recognizes Maryland cities and towns that have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to MML programs and activities through the involvement of their elected and appointed officials. Cities and towns must meet five requirements for consideration in the program. Those include participating in the "If I were Mayor…" contest, supporting Municipal Government Works Month, attending MML chapter meetings, participating in the annual convention and fall conference, and participation in an MML outlined service activity.

"I'm very proud that Rockville earned the designation for the first time," said Mayor Phyllis Marcuccio. "The work that the Maryland Municipal League does is vital to the cities and towns in Maryland, and Rockville is better able to enhance the quality of life for residents because of our work with the group."

MML was founded in 1936 and represents 157 municipal governments and two special taxing districts throughout the state of Maryland. The organization is a voluntary, non-profit, nonpartisan association controlled and maintained by city and town governments, and it works to strengthen and support municipal government through advocacy and the development of effective leadership.
