Congratulations to Daryl Delabbio, county administrator, Kent County, Michigan, who submitted the correct answer to the March ICMA 100th Anniversary Trivia Quiz!

The March question was “Who was the first woman president of ICMA, and in what year was she elected?” The answer is Peggy Merriss, who became ICMA President in October 2002. The response to the March question was huge, and we thank everyone who took the time to respond!  

This month, we faced the April 15 deadline for submitting 2013 tax forms, and many of us focused on increasing, rolling over, or withdrawing from our retirement savings.  And so in honor of this annual ritual, we test your knowledge of ICMA history with the following question:

In what year did ICMA secure official approval from the Internal Revenue Service to establish a national, portable, deferred compensation retirement plan, the ICMA Retirement Corporation, a.k.a., ICMA-RC?

The first member to respond with the correct answer wins an ICMA-anniversary-branded item. This month’s prize is the official 100th anniversary 24-oz.Tervis tumbler and lid.
