Let's conduct a simple test to see if I am wrong. Several ICMA members have told me something that I think is incredibly naive. They believe they can change the organization from within. But how can you change the ICMA - International City/County Management Association from within when the entire process of electing members to the executive board is rigged? Every candidate is handpicked by the establishment and they get to run unopposed! OK -- let's put that aside for a moment and work on something smaller and much easier to accomplish. Let's talk about the ICMA's selection of host cities for their annual conference. Here is the list: https://lnkd.in/djDrgSiZ As the president of the American Association of Municipal Executives, I am officially declaring that all future conferences will be held in cities with a council-manager form of government. If you are a member of the ICMA and think the organization that supposedly exists to promote the council-manager form of government should host their events in cities that actually have city managers -- demand change. Prove me wrong! Demand that Marc Ott and the ICMA executive board only hold events in council-manager cities after the 2024 annual conference. If you can't change something this easy and reasonable -- how do you expect to change anything else? ----- No organization exists to defend and advocate for the city or county manager as a professional. That is -- until now! If you are a public sector executive, you are invited to become a founding member of the American Association of Municipal Executives. Join today at: AAME.org
