Get Involved!
There are a number of opportunities for those who would like to be involved in the Association. Town and Mayor Roundtables are held regionally and are a great way to build relationships with your peers in other communities and learn about current issues. IACT also has a variety of committees that municipal officials can serve on to help guide the Association's direction. IACT also hosts a number of conferences and meetings at locations throughout the state, focusing on government advocacy and education.
Finally, getting involved in municipal government advocacy may be the most beneficial thing you can do for your city or town and the Association. IACT frequently requests that members contact legislators, and during the legislative session, often needs testimony or information from a wide range of municipal officials to present to the legislature.
How to Get Involved with Municipal Government Advocacy
- Read IACT's weekly e-newsletter, Legislative Summary, to keep updated on legislative action.
- Respond immediately to IACT advocacy alerts requesting your presence at the Statehouse or to contact your legislators on specific issues.
- Get to know your legislators and meet with them regularly at home and by visiting them at the Statehouse.
- Be willing to testify before committee hearings upon IACT's request.
- Ask IACT how to get more involved by contacting Rhonda Cook, Director of Government Affairs and General Counsel, at rcook@citiesandtowns.org or 317-237-6200 x225.
