For more than 50 years, ICMA’s technical assistance programs have leveraged the expertise and best practices of our members and partners to build communities in the United States and around the world that are safe, inclusive, responsive, innovative, and resilient. ICMA develops practical solutions to help communities face global and local challenges such as pandemics, natural disasters, and economic downturns, as well as the everyday challenges of managing a community and providing services with limited resources.
