A new interactive map on the Life, Well Run website highlights successful projects in professionally managed communities across the country.
You start by clicking on the globe (Professionally Managed Communities Near You). Next, click on any marker on the map, which takes you to a short description of the project and links for more information.
Now it’s time for you to put your community on the map
We want to know what makes you proud about the work you’ve done and are doing in your city, town, or county. Think about it this way: As you reflect on your career to date, what do you consider to be your greatest accomplishment? Tell us, and we will take that “story” and write it up for inclusion on the map.
Here are the general categories:
- Community building (example: community gardens)
- Economic development
- Environment, energy and sustainability
- Education
- Good government (making government more efficient, etc.)
- Health and wellness
- Housing
- Quality of life
- Recreation
- Service delivery and accessibility
- Ethics
The best way to help people understand the value of professional management is to showcase the ways managers have improved life in their communities. Help us tell that story. Write Amy Mayers at amayers@icma.org with your stories.
