Cal-ICMA

Cal-ICMA is a collaborative which maintains a strong relationship between ICMA and its members in California. We create a broad base partnership between all local government management professionals in the state, particularly in the areas of professional networking, development, and training to support ethical management in local government. We coordinate member service activities for California ICMA members which also includes new member recruitment and member retention, response to “ethics issues” relating to ICMA members, appointments to ICMA committees, task forces, and nominees for the ICMA Executive Board. Cal-ICMA is the official state affiliate with ICMA members in California. Founded in 2005, the California state affiliation with ICMA is unique so as not to create another “organization” with a separate dues structure. Cal-ICMA is a collaboration of the Cal Cities City Managers Department (CMD), California City Management Foundation (CCMF), Municipal Management Association of Northern California (MMANC), Municipal Management Association of Southern California (MMASC). Cal-ICMA also includes a number of affiliate organizations: California Association of County Executives (CACE), CivicPRIDE, International Network of Asian Public Administrators (I-NAPA), Local Government Hispanic Network (LGHN), National Forum for Black Public Administrators (NFBPA), and Women Leading Government (WLG); along with members of the academic community and from all of the other ICMA membership categories.
