end
Executive Directors of the League of Minnesota Cities will be presenting former Mayor Tom Ryan with the C.C. Ludwig Award, which is considered to be the League’s highest honor for elected city officials. Recipients are chosen for their vision, statesmanship, and unwavering commitment to the public good. The award was established in 1962 and is named for Clarence C. Ludwig, who served as the League’s executive director from 1935-1959.
Criteria considered for award includes service above and beyond what is required by the nominee’s position; contributions to improved municipal government throughout the state of Minnesota through involvement in national, state, county, municipal, professional, or other public organizations or agencies; significant improvements in Minnesota cities throughout the state attributable to the nominee’s service; admiration and respect of the general public for the nominee, and the nominee’s success in raising the prestige of city government service; and selfless conduct focused on the greater good of all Minnesota cities, not only the nominee’s own city. Blaine residents Jeff Bird, Jane Daniels, Tim Duevel, Al Goracke, Gail Marinac, Dottie McKinley, Kathy Weinbeck, and Terry Wold first nominated Mayor Ryan in 2018 for this prestigious award and we are pleased to honor Mayor Ryan for his service to the city.
