ICMA Strategic Partners Program

An Active Partnership
ICMA’s Strategic Partnership Program—an active partnership between the corporate community and ICMA and its members—represents an exciting opportunity for companies to work directly with local governments. Through this unique partnership, companies can help promote and encourage the development and exchange of creative ideas, improved communications, and innovative products and services. ICMA’s Strategic Partnership Program opens important lines of communication and provides a vehicle for sharing the expertise, resources, and experience held by the professionals and organizations in the public and private sectors.

Strategic Partnership Program Mission
The primary mission of ICMA’s Strategic Partnership Program is to develop and maintain private sector technical, financial, and management support for ICMA and its members. The mission supports ICMA’s overall mission to enhance the quality of local government management and the professionalism of local administrators.

Strategic Partner Code of Ethics
ICMA’s Strategic Partnership Program is also distinguished from other, similar programs in that it is based on the same high standards of honor and integrity as subscribed to by professional managers through ICMA’s Code of Ethics. A Strategic Partner Code of Ethics, adopted by the ICMA Executive Board in 1996, ensures that all Strategic Partner activities reaffirm the dignity and worth of professional management as a key component of democratic local government, support competitive bidding, and maintain a commitment to provide fair value for monies received. 

Who is Eligible to Become an ICMA Strategic Partner?
Any company, corporation, or organization that has an interest in reaching out to communities, keeping abreast of emerging local government trends, and sharing ideas and management techniques with key local government decision makers.
