In addition to our cutting-edge events (Annual Conference, Mid-Year Seminar, Stand Alone CLE) and our unparalleled member benefits (Municipal Lawyer, bi-weekly newsletter, Model Ordinance Service, Research Assistance), IMLA offers our Fellows Program and our ILGL Program to elevate a local government attorneys knowledge base and exposure in the local government legal community. Our ILGL Program, for example, will soon be the conduit for local governments to get "refresher" instruction through the Internet.

In addition to our prestigious programs,  IMLA also bestows particular awards to recognize individuals with invaluable experience and service to both the local government field, and to the general public.
