IMLA searches for Local Government Partners

Background
The International Municipal Lawyers Association (IMLA) is a Washington, DC-based organization for local government attorneys. Founded in 1935, IMLA serves as a clearinghouse of local law information for over 1500 members in the United States and Canada. It provides local government attorneys with information, education and programs.

IMLA recently appointed an International Committee to pursue international development opportunities on behalf of the organization. The Committee plans to develop rule of law and democratic institution-building programs for local governments

Search for Partners
The International Committee is looking for partners or sister organizations who would be interested in working with IMLA to develop joint conferences, seminars and exchange programs. We are currently focusing on the following countries:

• Poland
• Czech Republic
• Hungary
• Russia
• Ukraine

Does anyone know of any local government associations or local government lawyers in those countries (or in other ECE and NIS countries) who would be interested in working with IMLA? Please let us know.
