PM is the membership magazine of ICMA (International City/County Management Association), the professional and educational organization for chief appointed managers, administrators, and assistants in cities, towns, counties, and regional entities throughout the world. 

PM’s mission is to inspire innovation, inform decision making, connect leading-edge thinking to everyday challenges, and serve ICMA members and local governments worldwide in the pursuit of excellence in local governance.

The management decisions made by ICMA’s more than 9,000 members in the United States and around the world, affect nearly 185 million individuals in thousands of communities across the country—from small towns with populations of a few hundred to metropolitan areas serving several million.

PM readers are among the decision makers for the $1.5 trillion spent by local governments in fiscal year 2007 (U.S. Census Bureau’s 2007 Census of Governments. The next economic census will be conducted in 2012.)

You can reach these decision makers through PM, the trusted source of reliable guidance and information for more than 90 years.

• More than 7,500 PM online monthly page views with over 4,200 monthly unique visitors (Google Analytics September 2012)
