The 2018 ICMA Assistants’ Exchange offers you an opportunity to network with other local government management professionals and learn how other communities deliver services, engage residents, and strategically plan for the future. Participants will spend the day as the guest of a participating local government in the greater Baltimore metro area.

During the exchange, you'll tour government operations, attend meetings, and discuss the programs, people, and issues that affect your host community. The day will conclude with a reception at a venue near the Baltimore Convention Center.
