The members of ICMA, the International City/County Management Association, join communities throughout the world in mourning the loss of the victims of the tragic shooting at the Pulse nightclub in Orlando, Florida, early Sunday morning.

Our hearts and thoughts go out to the families and friends of the victims who were killed and those who were hospitalized as a result of this tragedy.

We stand with the city of Orlando and all of the communities in the Central Florida Region as they cope with their grief and loss. We also encourage those of you who wish to offer your help and support to reach out directly to the city. It is only by helping each other during such times as these that we can move closer together.
