The winners were chosen from a pool of nominees and are recognized for their contributions to public service, governance, and community development. The award recognizes and celebrates the achievements of elected officials under the age of 40 from NLC member cities, towns and villages.
“It is an honor to be able to represent Birmingham through an organization like the National League of Cities,” Smitherman said. “I’ve met several City Councilors from places like Texas who were only like 25-years-old or younger. It’s encouraging to see so many young women stepping into leadership roles in municipal government and I look forward to continuing to build those working relationships for years to come.”
