Douglas Commissioner Kentaiwon Durham received the esteemed Certificate of Achievement from the Harold F. Holtz Municipal Training Institute at the Georgia Municipal Association’s (GMA) Annual Conference in Savannah on June 26, 2017.

The training consists of a series of more than 50 courses.

 “This is an outstanding achievement,” said GMA Executive Director Lamar Norton. “We commend Commissioner Durham for this accomplishment and for the dedication he’s shown in using this valuable resource to become a more effective city official.”
