Executive Diploma in Municipal Management



 
 

The AMCTO Executive Diploma in Municipal Management (EDMM) is a comprehensive career development program designed specifically for municipal managers. It provides the foundational knowledge, skills, and competencies required to be a successful local government manager.

The EDMM program distills management needs into 16 curricular topics delivered through live Zoom sessions led by instructors with high levels of subject matter expertise. The topics are covered across two terms through 16 modules, and a research report serves as the final assessment.

Visit the EDMM Curriculum page to see descriptions of the modules.

The program has two start dates each year—one in Winter/Spring one in the Fall.
