DOTHAN, Ala (WDHN) — Dothan Mayor Mark Saliba was elected as the new Alabama League of Municipalities president.

Saliba was elected president by ALM members, consisting of mayors from around Alabama, on Friday, May 17, during the League’s 2024 Convention and Expo business session. The league also chose Fairhope Mayor Sherry Sullivan to serve as vice president.

Saliba and Sullivan will serve in their roles for one year and represent the organization’s more than 450 member cities and towns at local, state, and federal meetings.

“I am honored to serve as the next president of the Alabama League of Municipalities, and I am eager to continue sharing the importance of municipal government with our members and the public,” Saliba said. “Being a member of ALM is like having an extra department to help you run your cities and towns. From legislative advocacy to municipal training and a variety of member programs, the services and activities they provide are impossible to accomplish alone.”

Saliba previously served as the League’s vice president from 2023-2024. He has chaired the League’s Committee on State and Federal Legislation from 2022-2023 and represented the second congressional district on the League’s Board of Directors

He was first elected mayor of Dothan in 2017 and re-elected in 2021.
