LEADERSHIP Other Information:
Local government management is a profession of innovative, competent, principled leaders committed to promoting the integrity
of local governance, meaningful community participation, and representative democracy. Managers work with elected officials
and in concert with citizens, and partners to facilitate community building and engage around issues that cross boundaries
and borders. Professional local government managers are dedicated to sustainability; stewardship of public resources; and
sound, results-based management principles to help create communities that improve the quality of life for everyone. Professional
local government management attracts and cultivates a diverse and talented group of individuals dedicated to these high ideals.
Professional local government managers are the standard-bearers for ethical conduct and the advocates for professional management
and principles of sound local governance. ICMA is the association of choice for members of the professional local government
management community and a model of effective outreach and collaboration with other associations, institutions, and stakeholders.
