American Association of Municipal Executives
We are a community that supports, develops, and advocates for city managers and public sector executives.
Empowering Ambitious Municipal Executives
At the American Association of Municipal Executives (AAME), we are committed to fostering excellence in city management and public sector leadership. Our mission is to provide education, resources, and advocacy that empower municipal executives to lead with competency, innovation, and efficiency. We believe in supporting non-partisan, apolitical governance that values the expertise of city managers. Through a focus on professional development, networking, and thought leadership, AAME equips leaders to navigate challenges and create meaningful, sustainable impact.
Our Mission
At AAME, our mission is built on three core pillars:
- We foster a supportive network of municipal leaders and public sector professionals, creating spaces for collaboration and shared learning.
- We provide resources, training, and opportunities for professional development to empower city managers and executives to excel in their roles.
- We amplify the voice of municipal leaders, championing policies and initiatives that strengthen communities and improve governance.
