City Manager Area Groups

A cornerstone of the state-wide City Managers Department is the regional Area Manager Groups that consist of city managers and assistants who meet or communicate routinely for professional, training, networking and/or social purposes. In part, the Area Manager Groups represent the forums for detailed dialogue about state-wide and regional issues that may or may not be on the League of California Cities' agenda that affect cities, local control, local revenues and governance.

Each Area Manager Group chair or a designee of each Area Manager Group serves as a liaison between the City Managers Department Executive Board and Area Manager Group for policy matters of interest or importance to either the League or city managers. The liaison has a vote on the City Managers Department Executive Board and is expected to convey information between the state-wide and regional organization.

The information on this website is to assist the liaison in his/her role and serve as a resource to the Area Manager Groups. This website includes documents and information that represent best practices, useful tools, contact information and more to strengthen and benefit the City Managers Department and Area Manager Group connection.
