LOGODEF convened its 16 formal Mindanao partner municipalities to discuss training program direction, solicit recommendations and organized a unified body for their respective local chief executives known as the Conference of Mayors (COM) last July 27, 2010 at the Grand Ballroom of the Pryce Plaza Hotel in Cagayan de Oro City.
Prof. Edmund Tayao, along with its consultants, representatives of the provincial government of Misamis Oriental, the 16 mayors of the cluster municipalities and members of the Inter – Municipal Teams (IMTs) sat down and discussed strategies and direction to be undertaken for the next three years in reference to its training programs. The local chief executives expressed high hopes in finding new ways to increase revenue generation, improve delivery of public goods and project sustainability after pledging to the Foundation and their respective IMTs technical and logistical support for the capacity-building initiatives to be undertaken.
They also conducted an election to formally organize the Conference of Mayors for 2010 – 2013, with Mayor Oliver Ubaub of Laguindingan winning the chairmanship. Partner municipalities include: Balingoan-Medina- Talisayan (BMT); Manticao-Lugait-Naawan (ManLuna); BinKiSu (Binuanangan-Kinoguitan-Sugbongcogon); Initao-Laguindingan-Guitagum (ILG) and Alubijid-Libertad-ElSalvador-Opol (ALEO).
LOGODEF promotes the clustering of municipalities in adherence of its advocacy of inter-local cooperation. Inter-Muncipal Teams, composed of department heads from member municipalities, serves as the organic body responsible for the design and implementation of development plans with the Conference of Mayors supervising its activities.
