What Florida City and County Management Association does

The Florida City and County Management Association (FCCMA) is a professional non-profit association chartered in 1946 and headquartered in Tallahassee, Florida. It serves practicing city and county managers, aspiring public administrators, and members-in-transition across Florida's 478 cities and counties. Its core offerings center on mandatory ethics training and certification aligned with the ICMA Code of Ethics, professional development programs (Future Managers Virtual Bootcamp, Winter Institute, Symposium, Annual Conference), networking platforms (FCCMA Podcast with 218+ episodes, member portal), and career support services (Members-in-Transition program in partnership with Strategic Government Resources, Senior Advisors). The Professional Management Matters (PMM) sub-brand promotes the council-manager form of government.

FCCMA operates on a recurring membership-fee revenue model supplemented by event and training revenue, and reaches members through a community-led, event-driven go-to-market motion. Distribution is primarily direct via the FCCMA website and member login portal, with major in-person events held at Florida venues. The association maintains active social media and email channels, plus a content-marketing presence on the FCCMA News site. Leadership comprises a volunteer Board with Terry Atchley as President, Mike Staffopoulos (City Manager, Jacksonville Beach) as President-Elect, and Matt Spoor (Assistant County Administrator, Pinellas County) as Vice President. The organization is supported by 1-10 staff and has no disclosed technology platform or AI capabilities.
