Proposals for projects may emanate from individual members of ICMA or from standing or ad hoc committees. All completed proposals will be reported to the entire Board at the fall and spring Board meetings, with the committees' recommendations for those to be funded. Because ICMA's fiscal year runs from January 1 until December 31 and funds are not unlimited, it is advisable to submit proposals early. There will inevitably be occasions, such as the availability of a prominent scholar, that will encourage spontaneous proposals that fall outside the preferred dates. In this case, polling can be done via e-mail.
Interim reports are welcome.
For information on where to send your proposal, please contact the ICMA office.
