ICMA responds to comments made by nonmember Maine manager who potentially violated five tenets of ICMA Code of Ethics.

Manager's white separatist comments violate five tenets of the ICMA Code of Ethics.

Whether out in the field delivering services or occupying the manager’s chair, all employees have a stake in reporting incidents of suspected or actual wrongdoing.

ICMA members are invited to provide feedback on Tenet 4 of the ICMA Code of Ethics.

Members are encouraged to review the proposed tenet and guidelines and provide feedback by November 30.

When either party fails to understand its role or strays across boundaries, intentionally or not, the relationship can be strained or fractured.
