A confidential source sent me an audio recording of ICMA West Coast Regional Director Pat Martel discussing the American Association of Municipal Executives. This discussion took place two weeks ago at the Oregon City/Count Management Association conference..

In this audio clip, Martel states that the ICMA is very much aware of the AAME, that it supports the AAME mission, and that it is perfectly acceptable for ICMA members to join AAME and other organizations.

In this episode, I talk about how many ICMA members who are supportive of my efforts have expressed an unwillingness to join the AAME. They state they fear retaliation.

And I urge the ICMA executive board to make a public statement attesting to the fact that members will not be targeted if they do join the AAME.

SHOW NOTES:

If you want to join the American Association of Municipal Executives and becoming a founding member, register today at: https://community.aame.org/.

Deadline to become a founding member is July 15.

Last week the big news story was the announcement by the ICMA that CEO Marc Ott was retiring to spend more time with family. We also learned that Port Huron City Manager James Freed was given a trial date for his defamation lawsuit against the ICMA.

Coincidence?

These two stories are inextricably linked and are the topic of this week's podcast episode.

SHOW NOTES:

In this podcast I mentioned that Caribou, Maine City Manager Penny Thompson is a founding member of the American Association of Municipal Executives and that she is looking for an assistant city manager.
