ICMA Economic Mobility & Opportunity Initiative & Cohort
ICMA’s Economic Mobility and Opportunity (EMO) Cohort is a unique and rare networking opportunity for ICMA members to receive training, technical assistance, and funding to inform policies and effect conditions that promote overall well-being and upward mobility for their residents. This opportunity is made possible with support from the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. Ten communities were selected to be members through a process that gauged readiness to implement EMO-centered strategies through policies, practices, processes, and programs. Watch now and listen to them speak about their EMO journey. ICMA is also sharing EMO resources and offering learning opportunities for our general membership. Learn more about this initiative at icma.org/EMO.
