18 New Texas CPM Graduates Recognized in December 2022

The William P. Hobby Center for Public Service at Texas State University graduated eighteen new Texas Certified Public Managers® on December 12, 2022, at our winter ceremony at the Texas State Capitol. We would also like to recognize fifteen graduates who completed the program through Texas A&M International University and will graduate on January 5 at a ceremony at the City of Laredo. 

We were honored to have the Hon. Rudy Metayer, Councilmember at the City of Pflugerville and President of the Texas Black Caucus Foundation, deliver the keynote address. It was a pleasure to hear him speak and encourage our graduates to continue their careers in public service to our communities. 

The graduates participated in CPM Programs offered by Stephen F. Austin University, the University of Houston, A&M International University, and Texas State University. 

Congratulations to all the June Certified Public Manager® graduates!
