Chief Calvert Receives Certified Municipal Official Designation
Moberly, MO (10-8-2026) – Police Chief Bobby Calvert recently earned the designation of Certified Municipal Official from the Missouri Municipal League’s Municipal Governance Institute (MGI).
MGI was created under the direction of the Missouri Municipal League’s board of directors to provide a training program focused on the important areas municipal officials and professional staff need for success. To achieve certification, a municipal official must complete 16 credit hours of training conducted or endorsed by the Municipal Governance Institute.
Through his attendance at statewide and regional MGI sanctioned educational events, Chief Calvert received training in subjects such as council meeting procedures, parliamentary procedures, the Missouri Open Meetings and Records Law, conflicts of interest, the State Ethics Law, duties of the mayor and council, tort liability, purchasing and bidding requirements, municipal revenues sources, personnel law, emergency management and budgeting.
“All MGI graduates spend many hours over several years attending workshops and lectures on the finer points of municipal government,” said Laura Holloway, Executive Director of the Missouri Municipal League. “Earning the CMO designation is a significant achievement, and I commend our graduates for their dedication and motivation to become better informed and more effective municipal officials.”
The Missouri Municipal League was organized in 1934 and now serves nearly 650 cities as the recognized voice for municipalities in Missouri. This voluntary membership program brings officials of cities and towns together to promote understanding of municipal government and administration in Missouri to advance the welfare of their communities.
