Membership

Member Services

In addition to valuable networking opportunities and information sharing gained through participation in WCMA, members also benefit from:

Conferences
WCMA holds two conferences annually, the Northwest Regional Spring Conference with Oregon and Alaska State Associations, and the Washington State Conference in the summer.
Continuing Education
ICMA University courses are incorporated into each WCMA Conference to provide managers with a regular opportunity to receive professional level training on current issues.
Newsletter
WCMA members receive the state association newsletter twice a year. The newsletter contains information from member cities and updates on state and local issues and innovations.
Range Rider Program
Experienced Washington managers offer professional advice and personal support for members and managers in transition.
Regional Meetings
WCMA has divided the state into 14 regions and assigned a member from each region to keep in regular contact with other members. Informal lunch meetings are occasionally called to provide managers an opportunity to discuss local issues and concerns.
Service Awards Program
Each year WCMA presents awards to city managers and administrators recognizing distinguished public service and tenure in the organization.
Scholarships
Scholarships are awarded annually to members who are unable to attend the ICMA annual conference or the WCMA conferences due to financial constraints.
Members-In-Transition Support
WCMA offers a variety of support programs for members who resign or are removed from service.
