ICMA has been highlighting best practices of cities and counties that have developed exemplary programs to assist veterans and their families and offers a nationwide network of city and county managers to spread the word about these programs. ICMA is partnering with national, state, and local government organizations to ensure that local governments have the tools needed to reintegrate and care for veterans and their families.

ICMA's Veterans Committee

The Veterans Advisory Committee was established in October 2020 and its mission is to enhance local government through the inclusion of veterans who share the passion, skills, and knowledge to succeed in public service. This committee's goals are to:

1) Bring awareness to ICMA members about the skills of veterans.                                        

2) Raise visibility of a local government career path among military members.  

3) Develop and strengthen relationships between the veteran community and local governments.
