Benton mayor sworn in as a VP of Kentucky League of Cities

Benton mayor Rita Dotson was recently sworn in after being elected as second vice president of the Kentucky League of Cities.

Dotson was recognized at the annual conference in Owensboro where KLC elected Southgate mayor Jim Hamberg as president, and Auburn mayor Mike Hughes as vice president.

KLC officers represent the views and opinions of their fellow mayors, bring those goals to discussion with state legislators and officials, and testify on the League's behalf in Frankfort.

Mayor Dotson was thankful for her transition to the leadership team. “I am honored that KLC members have entrusted me to take on this role, and I look forward to working with Mayor Hamberg, Mayor Hughes, J.D., and all the staff and members at KLC. We are all stronger and more effective for cities when we work together.”
