ICMA Executive Board Regional Vice President Nomination Process

The 2021 ICMA Regional Nominating Committees’ proposed slate of nominees (6) to serve as regional vice presidents is found on the online ballot. Biographies of each candidate are provided, including present employment, educational background, credentialed status, previous employment, volunteer service to the profession, and offices held in ICMA and state/affiliate associations.

The Regional Nominating Committees considered the following criteria in the selection of the proposed nominees: experience in local government; service to ICMA and its affiliates; diversity in the nominees and the continuing board members with whom they will serve in terms of race, ethnicity, gender, and age; demonstration of ethical behavior; commitment to follow the election guidelines; quality or caliber for board service; and participation in ICMA’s Voluntary Credentialing Program, if eligible.
