Financial health

We do not score finances when yearly spending is very small or the return has too little detail. The ratios stop meaning much at that size.

This return does not answer enough of the governance questions to score.

Programs described in its return (2)
  1. ACMA Summer Conference - A three-day professional development and networking conference for Arizonas city and county managers and staff. Approximately 160 people attend.
  2. Other Program Services The Next Generation Leadership Conference provides an experience for local government professionals who might not have the time or resources to attend a multi-day conference. Designed for aspiring leaders in or working toward a career in local government, the conference assists with leadership and mentoring dialogue, and the sharing of mutual experiences in our public service profession. The association provides several training opportunities to members annually. The trainings include two semi-annual conferences as well as other training opportunities throughout the year. The associations website at www.azmanagement.org continues to be maintained and expanded. Continue to work with the International City/County Management Association and Alliance for Innovation to provide services to members. A senior advisor program utilizes two retired city managers on a volunteer basis to provide members with a resource to ask questions and seek assistance with career-oriented situations. The senior advisors also follow up with managers who have left their jobs or have been terminated. The association also works with the three state public universities to support their MPA programs and, specifically, provide support to the Arizona State University Marvin Andrews Program.
