PM is the award-winning 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 12,000 members in the United States and around the world, affect millions of 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 involved in the purchasing process: 86% establish the budget; 80% authorize and approve purchases; and 60% recommend and select specific products and services.

You can reach these decision-makers through PM, the trusted source of reliable guidance and information for 100 years.  

PM’s circulation of more than 10,000 (print) and 12,000 (e-newsletter) includes ICMA members, nonmember subscribers, and bonus distribution at major events for local government professionals
