ICMA's membership of more than 9,000 professional local government managers is a significant asset to our international programs, and those international programs enrich the professional and personal lives of members. These chief administrators and their professional staffs represent a wealth of experience and knowledge that can be exchanged with one another and with their counterparts around the world.
These member connections are formalized through:
International Affiliates: ICMA maintains formal affiliate relationships with local government organizations worldwide.
International Management Exchange Program: ICMA and its international affiliates manage an exchange program that provides opportunities for members to collaborate with their colleagues around the world.
ICMA International Committee: ICMA’s governing board has formed a standing International Committee that advises on international issues.
