Through our extensive peer network, the California City Management Foundation offers guidance, support and advice for City Managers in all stages of their careers. Working with the International City/County Management Association (ICMA), we help establish ethical standards in the industry. We sponsor luncheons and conferences, provide legal advice, and maintain a library of resources for our members. We do a lot of things, but above all, we foster a community of City Managers, both online and off. There are five essential roles for CCMF to play in the lives of city managers: 1. Celebrate individual city managers and our profession 2. Support policies that make for successful, manageable and enduring cities 3. Ensure the profession remains attractive to the best talent to ensure good city managers are available to cities 4. Help current and future city managers advance their careers with education, training and career transition. 5. Encourage and support managers through difficult times. By focusing on these key areas, CCMF will have a sustainable mission in purpose in the years ahead and add value to our members’ lives.
