International City/County Management Association (ICMA) Veterans

The International City/County Management Association (ICMA) Veterans are led by the ICMA Veterans Advisory Committee (VAC). The mission of the VAC is to enhance local government through the inclusion of Veterans who share the passion, skills, and knowledge to succeed in public service. This VAC uses these three pillars to raise awareness and promote veterans in local government: • Raising visibility on municipal government as a career among active duty and transitioning military personnel. • Building awareness of the skills and knowledge that veterans bring to the profession. • Develop and strengthen relationships between the veteran community and local government. ICMA Veterans achieve their mission through education, programming, outreach, and awareness. If you would like to help us with our mission - please consider making a contribution via the "Give" button at the top of the page. Please note Veterans Advisory Committee (VAC) in the "write us a comment" field to direct the contribution to our efforts. The marquee program offered is the Veterans Local Government Management Fellowship (VLGMF). The VLGMF is a 12 to 25-week Department of Defense approved Career Skills (SkillBridge) Program. The VLGMF provides transitioning service members with management training and hands-on experience in the local government environment with the goal of preparing them for smooth transitions into local government careers.
