Newly elected official’s guide to taking office (CityByte)

You just won an election for your municipal office. Now what? We address some common questions of when and how you take office, who may administer your oath, and what information should be included the oath of office in this document. Sample oath templates for boards, judges and other offices are included for Tennessee municipal use.

In addition to these resources, an MTAS CityByte on the topic is available here: https://rise.articulate.com/share/DcT1KC6L7NuUrEMeHEmSrFCim_drEr7E#/

It covers questions such as when do you take office, who can swear you in, what should be in the oath and what's next.
