ICMA Member Benefit

The Affiliate Member Assistance Program (AMAP) was created in 2020 in response to COVID-19 and the economic impact on local governments. The program includes a dues waiver to Affiliate members working for a local government who experience a job loss during this economic crisis and a program to support these members remaining in the profession of professional local government management.

In order to qualify, members must be in good standing, working for a local government at the time of job loss, and not eligible for the Members in Transition program.

To enroll, email membership@icma.org.

Benefits:

  • Complimentary Membership: Once enrolled in the Affiliate Member Assistance Program, your ICMA membership will be renewed at one (1) year at no cost to you. 
  • Complimentary, unlimited access to  ICMA University webinars, that are priced at $149 for members.
  • Free enrollment in The Emerging Leaders Development Program (ELDP), a two-year cohort program; designed to help early to mid-career professionals build knowledge, skills, and abilities in the basic management and technical topics that managers need to know to be successful. Through a unique format that blends monthly teleseminars with senior credentialed managers or public administration professors, ELDP minimizes your time away from work and maximizes your local government expertise. (spaces are limited)
  • Discounted rate for the Local Government 101 program ($500 instead of $1499)
  • Complimentary registration to the Annual Conference.

Since ICMA membership belongs to the individual, not the local government, it is important for members to contact ICMA whenever there is a change in employment status. Reach out to us at membership@icma.org or call 202-962-3680.
