Tuttle II has been elected to a one-year term as president of the Virginia Local Government Management Association (VLGMA).  VLGMA provides training and member support for professional managers and their staffs in cities, counties, and towns across the state.  It has more than 370 members.

“We are committed to building great Virginia communities through ethical leadership, innovation, citizen engagement, and preparing the next generation of local government professionals,” Tuttle said following his election June 17 at the association’s annual conference in Virginia Beach.
