Congratulations to Elizabeth “Lynne” Ladner, former city administrator, Hiawatha, Kansas, who submitted the correct answer to the February ICMA 100th Anniversary Trivia Quiz. The answer to the question, “Who was the first African-American president of ICMA, and in what year was he or she elected?” is Sylvester Murray, who was city manager of Cincinnati, Ohio, in 1983 when he was elected ICMA president.

Who was the first female president of ICMA, and in what year was she elected?
