Northeast Region. This agreement shall serve as a written understanding between ICMA (International City/ County Management Association) and the 11 State Associations in the Region establishing a process for selecting candidates to be nominated to serve as the Region’s ICMA Vice- Presidents and regional protocols for the rotation of nominees between states. Association/ICMA Commitment The processes outlined in this agreement are intended to reflect the mutual commitment between ICMA and the State Associations to identify motivated and qualified members to serve on the ICMA Executive Board. The agreement also works to ensure equal opportunity within the region for all states to be represented, with the goal of achieving a balanced executive board that represents the local government management profession and those served by it.

To assist state associations in fulfilling this commitment, ICMA shall: • Conduct annual outreach, education, and training on the regional nominations process for state presidents. • Coordinate all aspects of the process to support candidates and the Regional Nominating Committees. • Promote service on the ICMA Board to members. • Solicit and process nominations.
