The regional nominating committees met recently to select the following nominees for ICMA Regional Vice Presidents. No other candidates chose to run by petition.

Vice Presidential Nominees

International: Tim A. Anderson, chief administrative officer, Waterloo, Ontario, Canada

Midwest: Wally Bobkiewicz, city manager, Evanston, Illinois

Mountain Plains: Heather M. Geyer, administrative services director, Wheat Ridge, Colorado

Northeast: Matthew W.  Hart, town manager, Mansfield, Connecticut

Southeast: W. Lane Bailey, city manager, Salisbury, North Carolina

West Coast: Maria A. Hurtado, assistant city manager, Hayward, California

All states with signed affiliation agreements with ICMA were invited to appoint a representative to the regional nominating committee in their region. The International Hispanic Network, National Association of County Administrators, and the National Forum for Black Public Administrators were also invited to appoint a member from the region to each regional nominating committee.

The U.S. candidates were interviewed at the conclusion of each region’s 2017 regional summit this spring. The international regional nominating committee met by conference call in April. The committees were faced with difficult choices since there were excellent candidates to consider. Committee members believe the persons nominated have outstanding qualifications to lead ICMA.
