ICMA Leaders at the Core of Better Communities

[Pavel Sobol]

The application period for the 2010 Local Government Management
Fellowship is now open.
Students graduating by August 31, 2010, with MPA/MPP degrees from
NASPAA member schools are invited to apply for the 2010 Local
Government Management Fellowship. The deadline for applications and
all supplemental materials is Friday, December 11, 2009. Apply online
at http://icma.org/lgmf and go to the Become a Fellow tab.
This highly competitive career-development opportunity places fellows
in local government management-track positions shaped by rotational
assignments and direct mentorship under senior management:
 Fellows develop real-world management skills while participating in
meaningful and important local government projects;
 Fellows receive direct mentorship from senior local government
managers;
 While the minimum salary is $35,000 annually, many fellows earn a
salary greater than $40,000;
 The most important job is usually the first one; start your career
off right!
"Learning on the job in an efficient and effective organization like
Catawba County taught me the meaning of working in local government,
and I was continuously challenged to complete critical projects that
moved the county forward. There was no better place for me to learn
and serve the public."

Creighton Avila, Former Local Government Management Fellow, Catawba
County, North Carolina

“I have the opportunity to work at the top levels of local government
alongside some of the leading professionals in my field. The
mentorship, experience, challenges, and opportunities are simply
extraordinary.”

Nathan Branscome, Former Local Government Management Fellow, Baldrige
Program Coordinator, Washoe County, Nevada
Finalists will be notified of their status in early 2010; local
governments will begin interviews shortly thereafter. Once placed,
assignments usually begin between June and September 2010.
Individuals with questions can refer to the Frequently Asked Questions
online, or send an e-mail to lgmfp...@icma.org. Read more at
http://icma.org/lgmf.

Local governments interested in hosting a 2010 Fellow can also contact
lgmfp...@icma.org, sign up online, or call 202.962.3560.

From ancient Rome, to the shining city on the hill, to tomorrow's city
of innovation, cities, towns and counties are the vital link between
government and the people they serve. Serve local government. Serve
the public. Be a Local Government Management Fellow. Make a
Difference!

Sincerely,

Robert Carty
LGMF Program Manager

Yes, John, we are a member, but not fully accredited (because it costs more money)..

You can talk to Greg about the details.
