More than 400 members have been appointed or designated to serve on committees and task forces.

In June 2015, ICMA president-elect Pat Martel, city manager, Daly City, California appointed individuals to serve on ICMA member committees and task forces. Other stakeholders, including state and affiliate associations, designated additional representatives to the ICMA Conference Planning Committee. These committee and task force members will begin their terms of service at the 101st annual conference in Seattle, Washington. They are listed below by committee and name. Updated lists of committee task force members will be available on the "Current Committees" page on the ICMA website after September 28, 2015, when their appointments become official.

Contributing your time and talent by volunteering for a committee or task force is a great way to serve the profession and connect with your colleagues. The call for volunteers for 2016 will begin in March. Information about how to volunteer will be listed in ICMA’s Leadership Matters newsletter and on the website.
