Mayor Pro Tem Vignal Awarded with Certificate of Municipal Leadership

Mayor Pro Tem Stephanie Vignal has been honored with the Certificate of Municipal Leadership by the Association of Washington Cities (AWC), a program that recognizes elected officials for their training in municipal governance. Vignal achieved this distinction by completing over 30 hours of training focused on critical areas like legal requirements and effective local leadership. AWC Interim CEO Alicia Seegers Martinelli highlighted the program's role in empowering city leaders to tackle governance challenges. Since her appointment to the Mill Creek council in 2019, Vignal has demonstrated her civic commitment through her involvement in the Joint Fire Board and the Youth Advisory Board. Her dedication to fostering economic growth is complemented by her emphasis on sustainable community planning.

Vignal's educational background in business administration equips her with the skills necessary for effective leadership. The AWC has been serving Washington's cities since 1933, providing essential training, advocacy, and support services. This recognition not only underscores Vignal's achievements but also reflects the importance of continued education in local governance.
