The CML from the AWC recognizes elected officials in cities and towns for completing training in five major areas. These include effective local leadership; building healthy, safe, and thriving communities; transportation, infrastructure, and land use; financial management and budgeting; and legal requirements; responsibilities, roles, and ethics.
Deanna Dawson, CEO of AWC, said that the CML program provides elected officials with the tools and knowledge needed to plan for the future, foster strong relationships, manage and secure funds, effectively operate within the law, and work to build equitable communities.
Elected officials in the city can earn credits towards their CML once they take office. To achieve the total number of 30 CML credits, they need to get trained in at least three of the five core competency areas.
This is Rivera’s first term on the Renton City Council. She is a member of the Community Services Committee, vice chair of the Utilities Committee, and chair of the Public Safety Committee. She also serves on regional committees and boards including the Sentencing Guidelines Commission of the state of Washington and the Regional Law Safety and Justice Committee of the Sound City Association.
