In Montréal for its annual conference,

 

in 1924, the City Managers’ Association changed its name to the International City Managers’ Association in recognition of the many Canadian membership applications the organization had received. At that same conference, members formally adopted the City Manager’s Code of Ethics, which consisted of 13 articles and was influential in establishing standards of ethics for all local government organizations. The code was subsequently amended in 1938, 1952, 1969, 1972, 1976, 1995, and 1998.
