The International City/County Management Association on Friday announced the installation of its Executive Board for the 2020-2021 term. Nate Pagan, Owensboro City Manager, was elected vice president of the Southeast region for the term.
“It is an honor to be elected by my colleagues to the Executive Board of such a vital organization,” Pagan said. “With a dedication to ethical, efficient, and responsive local government, ICMA is the preeminent organization for local government professionals and has been among the most formative resources throughout the course of my career. As the second Kentuckian to ever serve on the Board, I am proud to represent Owensboro, Kentucky, and the Southeast region.”
Regional vice presidents represent ICMA to regional associations of local government managers and maintain relationships with other affiliated organizations.
ICMA recognizes five regions within the United States, each of which elects three representatives to the Executive Board. Three vice presidents are also elected from countries outside the U.S.
Vice presidents serve staggered three-year terms, with one-third replaced annually.
“Our new Board is nothing short of exemplary of ICMA’s mission to advance excellence in professional local government,” said Marc Ott, ICMA executive director. “Each of this year’s appointees has persevered through what has objectively been one of the most challenging times in the history of the profession, and we look forward to having them continue to serve the ICMA community as expertly as they serve their own.”
The new board members are officially installed at the ICMA Annual Conference.
