2011 ICMA Nominating Committee Report to the Membership

The 2011 Nominating Committee’s proposed slate of vice presidential candidates is presented below. Committee members believe the persons nominated have outstanding qualifications to lead ICMA. Where the committee was presented with multiple candidates, it was faced with difficult choices between strong candidates. During the nomination process, careful consideration was given to representation of all segments of the membership and to the association’s commitment to diversity.

Members of the Nominating Committee are past president Darnell Earley, chair, city manager, Saginaw, Michigan (Midwest); Sam Gaston, city manager, Mountain Brook, Alabama (Southeast); Tansy Hayward, assistant city manager, Tacoma, Washington (West Coast); Jim Malloy, town manager, Westborough, Massachusetts (Northeast); and Brent McFall, city manager, Westminster, Colorado (Mountain Plains).

The committee interviewed candidates on September 20, 2011, in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, as well as via conference call on September 28, 2011. Six nominees were selected by the nominating committee.
