Lexington, Ky. – Williamsburg Mayor Roddy Harrison has been elected president of the Kentucky League of Cities (KLC) with Sadieville Mayor Claude Christensen as First Vice President and Richmond Mayor Jim Barnes as Second Vice President. The officers will serve one-year terms.
Harrison moved into the president’s role early when an officer vacancy occurred last year for KLC, which is a member association with more than 370 municipal members. The League provides a number of services for cities including advocacy, training, legal and other services, as well as insurance and finance programs.
Mayor Harrison said he looks forward to the year ahead and said KLC brings cities together on important issues and challenges and said cities learn from each other.
“Let me say again how honored and privileged I feel to serve as Kentucky League of Cities President,” said Harrison. “I truly feel we belong to one of the most dedicated organizations I’ve ever been associated with. When we work together as one voice, big things will happen and cities will benefit.”
The KLC Executive Board added three new members to its roster as well including Councilmember Marty Fulkerson, Owensboro Commissioner Pamela Smith-Wright and Crestview Hills City Administrator Tim Williams.
