Association des maires de France et des présidents d'intercommunalité

What Association des maires de France et des présidents d'intercommunalité does

The Association des maires de France et des présidents d'intercommunalité (AMF) is a French non-profit association (loi 1901) founded in 1907 and headquartered at 41 quai d'Orsay, Paris. It is the principal national representative body for mayors of French communes and, since 2000, for presidents of intercommunal structures (EPCI) with 5,000+ inhabitants, serving members regardless of political affiliation or commune size. AMF operates on a dues-funded subscription model: communes pay population-tiered annual fees (€48 for communes under 200 inhabitants up to €0.166/inhabitant capped at €38,500 for larger communes), and EPCI presidents pay €0.047/inhabitant capped at €8,200, with fees voted each year at the General Assembly held during the Congress.

AMF's service portfolio combines free individualized legal counsel (more than 10,000 advisories annually), exclusive financial simulation tools (DGF dotation calculator, intercommunal composition and financial-pact simulators), training through the Mairie 2000 MOOCs and Wiki created in 1985, and a diversified media franchise including the Maires de France monthly magazine (~15,000 subscribers), the AMF-info weekly newsletter (~48,000 subscribers), La Lettre (~37,000 copies monthly), the IntercoActu bi-monthly newsletter (9,000+), and the daily news outlet Maire-info. The annual Congress of Mayors (108th edition scheduled November 24-26, 2026 at Porte de Versailles) and the co-located Salon des maires et des collectivités locales (50,000 visitors) anchor member engagement. Distribution channels include the website amf.asso.fr, AMFTV and Maires.TV video channels, and Twitter/X (@l_amf).

AMF monetizes primarily through membership dues, training and publication income, Congress/Salon-related revenue, and through its wholly-owned subsidiary FONPEL, a supplementary retirement savings scheme for local elected officials. The association is governed democratically by members through a President, a 36-member Bureau, and a 100-member Comité directeur, all to be renewed at the November 2026 Congress; David Lisnard currently serves as President. With 158 employees and approximately 11,000 Congress participants and 50,000 Salon visitors per year, AMF functions as a high-distribution, association-driven quasi-public-interest organization rather than a commercial technology enterprise.

Partnerships

Three partnerships are on record, tiered core and major.

• La Protection CivilecoreStrategic or Co-development Partner · 27 July 2026La Protection Civile is a trusted partner of AMF in emergency response operations. In July 2026, following multiple devastating wildfires across France, AMF partnered with La Protection Civile to coordinate relief efforts for affected communes. AMF called on municipalities and intercommunalities to contribute financial donations to La Protection Civile's designated bank account (IBAN: FR76 1027 8005 9800 0201 6430 684) to support emergency aid, evacuation, and psycho-social support for displaced populations.
• Confédération des acteurs du tourisme and professional hosting federationsmajorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 9 July 2026AMF co-signed a joint position paper with the Confédération des acteurs du tourisme and representative professional federations on the reform of the taxe de séjour (tourist tax). The position affirmed opposition to centralized management, ad valorem taxation, and removal of the fiscal link between the tax and tourism expenditure, advocating instead for a stabilizing reform preserving the current real-rate system.
• Villes de FrancemajorStrategic or Co-development Partner · 1 July 2026AMF and France Urbaine (and its president Gil Averous) coordinated on the fire relief operation, demonstrating joint action between associations of local elected officials.

Regional players

• Deutscher Städtetag: German association of cities. Comparable as a peer professional association of municipal elected officials providing representation, advisory services, and policy advocacy — distinct geography but analogous structure, member-funded model, and representative mandate.
• Sveriges Kommuner och Regioner (SKR) — Sweden: Swedish association of municipalities and regions. Comparable as a peer member-funded association providing legal advice, training, publications, and advocacy to local officials; operates outside France but follows an identical association-based model for representing local elected leaders.

Broad incumbents

• Local Government Association (LGA) — UK: National representative body for English and Welsh local authorities. Comparable as a non-profit, dues-funded association providing legal advice, training, publications, and political representation to locally elected officials — the international analogue of AMF's mandate.
• Conseil des Communes et Régions d'Europe (CEMR): European federation of national local-government associations. Comparable as the supranational umbrella of which AMF is a member; serves the same municipal-official constituency at European/international level and shares AMF's representation, training, and policy-publication functions at scale.

Direct peers

• Villes de France: Association representing medium-sized French cities and their mayors. Directly comparable as a competing/overlapping professional association of municipal elected officials with similar advocacy, publications, and event-based engagement models.
• France Urbaine: Association of mayors of large cities and urban intercommunalities in France. Directly comparable as a peer professional association of local elected officials with overlapping membership, joint advocacy actions (e.g., 2026 wildfire relief, RIPOST bill) and shared representation before national authorities.
• Intercommunalités de France: Federation representing France's EPCIs (intercommunal cooperation establishments). Directly comparable as a specialized association serving the same intercommunal-president segment that AMF also represents, with overlapping governance, fiscal, and intercommunal-policy mandates.
• Association des Maires Ruraux de France (AMRF): National association of rural mayors in France. Directly comparable as a peer body representing a distinct segment of French municipal elected officials, with parallel service offerings (legal counsel, publications, congress) and overlapping advocacy territory.

Others

• Fédération Nationale des Centres de Gestion de la Fonction Publique Territoriale: French federation of territorial civil-service management centers. Comparable as a peer French non-profit association serving communes and EPCIs with shared advisory, training, and HR-management services for local public-sector actors; adjacent ecosystem participant rather than direct competitor.
• National League of Cities (NLC) — US: US-based association representing municipal elected officials. Comparable as a peer professional association offering training, advocacy, policy analysis, and annual congress to local officials; broader geographic scope but analogous mission and service mix.
