Assistant County Manager for Catawba County, North Carolina, Mary Furtado got her start in local government as an ICMA Local Government Management Fellow.

"Jobs come and go due to political forces or personal aspirations, but no matter what state you serve in, you can always depend on ICMA to provide continuity throughout your career with consistent training, networking, and resources."

All of us have had role models and mentors who helped shape our careers and our values, and I believe we have a responsibility in turn to those who will follow us.
