Fellowship Board of Directors

The City/County Management Fellowship is a collaboration between the USC Sol Price School of Public Policy, alumni executives in the field of city management and the California International City/County Management Association (Cal-ICMA) through a memorandum of understanding.

The Board of Directors members are nominated and approved by current Board Members to serve two-year terms and include representatives from the School and the field. The Board of Directors meets quarterly to discuss and approve actions related to the financing, support and professional development of the Fellows.
