ICMA Conference Travel Award

In order to encourage attendance at the ICMA annual conference, ILCMA and ICMA are pleased to announce that they will provide financial assistance to ILCMA members, who are also members of ICMA, wishing to attend their first ICMA conference. ICMA will waive conference registration fees to the annual conference for two ILCMA members. ILCMA will in turn match the dollar amount of those fees to help defray transportation and housing fees. This is an excellent opportunity, particularly for members from communities that do not have the resources to allow their staff to travel to national conferences.

To qualify, applicants must be full members of ILCMA and ICMA and be attending their first ICMA conference. To apply send a brief letter explaining how you and your community would benefit from receiving this award. Along with the letter, please enclose an up to date resume. Applications are due in the Secretariat office no later than June 20. The ILCMA Awards and Scholarship Committee will make a final decision on award recipients around the first week of July. ILCMA will notify ICMA of the names of award recipients indicating that they are entitled to a waiver of the conference registration fee.
