Intermittent Employee Work Environment:

The work environment and physical demands described here are representative of those an employee encounters while performing the essential functions of this job. Reasonable accommodations may be made to enable individuals with disabilities to perform the essential functions.

  • Work is typically performed in a home office environment consistent with ICMA's current "virtual first" approach.
