In an effort to reduce the number of communications members and prospective members receive from ICMA by email, we have streamlined the valuable content they have come to expect from multiple newsletters into a single weekly digest.

The new weekly newsletter will be titled Leadership Matters, and will launch on Tuesday, May 15. It will include the local government news and resources previously found in the members-only ICMA Newsletter, as well as links to other information about careers, local government topics, and more that were included in a variety of specialized ICMA newsletters in the past.

A nonmember newsletter version will also be available to prospective members, which will contain excerpts from the member edition, but will not include the premium content reserved exclusively for ICMA members.

We value our members’ time and understand that having fewer emails to sift through creates more time to put local government news and resources to work in communities, classrooms, and job searches.

ICMA is committed to providing its members with helpful information in an easy-to-read, at-a-glance format, and it is our hope that you will find this new weekly digest more comprehensive and convenient as you stay connected with the news, resources, and job leads within the local government profession.
