Dear Members,

Thanks to everyone who was able to join our Spring Conference in Gaithersburg.  The cities of Gaithersburg and Rockville did an excellent job organizing the event. We had a record 41 attendees, and experts led sessions on culture change, AI adoption, the impacts of federal job changes, and reviewing the State legislative session among others.  You can find information about some of these sessions on our website. 

During the MCCMA Association Meeting the By-laws Task Force introduced draft changes to our by-laws.  The primary proposed changes are related to adding an additional Regional Board Member for the Suburban D.C. Region.

Please click the buttons to see the proposed changes and provide your comments using the link below.  The By-laws Task Force will review the comments and present final amendments to the membership for a vote during our June 15, 2026 meeting in Ocean City. 

Our June meeting will take place at Harrison’s Harborwatch Restaurant and Rawbar, at noon on Monday, June 15, 2026.  Harrison’s has been an Ocean City landmark for 40 years.  It is about a 10-minute drive (or OC shuttle ride) from the convention center and overlooks the Ocean City inlet and Assateague Island.  We promise a good meal, networking, and a productive meeting for $25.

We will also vote on the new MCCMA board during the June 15th meeting. The Nominating Committee, chaired by past President Bill Gardner, will present a recommended slate of candidates at the meeting. Our process has been for each position to move up, from Secretary to Treasurer; Treasurer to Vice President; Vice President to President; and President to Past President. If you are interested in joining the Board or serving on a committee, please reach out to any of the Board members or email mccma@icma.org.

Hope to see you at our June meeting!

Sincerely,

Jeff Silka

MCCMA President
City Manager, Cumberland
