Be part of ICMA’s ongoing efforts to spread the word about innovative local government practices and help us celebrate 100 years of professional local government management by profiling your community’s programs and achievements on ICMAtv!

Again this year, ICMA is partnering with WebsEdge, a global production company based in Washington, D.C., and London, to produce a daily television program that will air during the ICMA Annual Conference and on icmatv.com. This year’s focus will be ICMA’s centennial anniversary and a celebration of 100 years of professional local government management.

Each of the daily ICMAtv programs will include interviews with key speakers and leaders, news from the conference floor, and several five-minute, prerecorded videos that will highlight a number of innovative communities. The purpose of these segments is to help raise awareness of local government leading practices, especially in the areas of sustainability, economic and community development, professional and ethical practices, housing, transportation, and civic engagement—just to name a few!

By participating, in addition to a five-minute video, your jurisdiction will be featured in the daily television program at ICMA’s Annual Conference in Charlotte, N.C., September 14-17, 2014, and on icmatv.com. In addition to the exposure your community will gain among your peers at the conference, you will also have a video of your project to use for community outreach, funding or partnership proposals, marketing, recruitment, and other uses.

The ICMAtv team at WebsEdge, on behalf of ICMA, is launching its efforts to reach out to local governments across the country regarding the development of these special videos. There are a limited number of slots available on a first-come, first-served basis; and there is a cost associated with the production of each segment. 

If you are interested in creating a film segment, contact Mark Rose at WebsEdge at mark@websedge.com, and WebsEdge staff will create a customized proposal and cost structure for you based on the content and complexity of your project. If you choose to participate, a dedicated WebsEdge producer will work closely with you to produce the film of your choice. Your community will retain the rights to reproduce and copy your segment for future use.

Individuals with questions can contact Mark Rose at mark@websedge.com, or Michele Frisby at mfrisby@icma.org. View sample programs produced for previous ICMA Annual Conferences.
