Rehired associates will have any previous service counted toward total years of service. Service time in a contract temporary
status will not be counted.
Milestone Award Levels
After one year of service, you will receive a letter of recognition from the ICMA‑RC President and CEO.
Milestone awards are presented upon the completion of five years of service and every five years thereafter. For
each five-year milestone, you can choose from various gifts. An anniversary packet, which contains all relevant
information about the choice of gift, is provided to eligible associates in advance of their anniversary.
A career celebration program is held periodically to honor associates at corporate headquarters who are
celebrating milestone anniversaries. During the program, the associate is recognized by his or her supervisor,
manager or division head. Awards for field associates are mailed directly to the associate and should be
acknowledged and celebrated by field management.
CORPORATE COMMITTEES, PROGRAMS AND PUBLICATIONS
The Peer Roundtable
The Peer Roundtable (PRT) is a group of associates readily available to advocate on behalf of ICMA‑RC
associates and their needs. The PRT provides an alternative channel for problem resolution by serving as
an additional resource for all associates who wish to have their opinions, perspectives, and issues heard by
an impartial roundtable of peers. The goal of the PRT is to empower associates in their efforts to resolve
perceived unfairness or insensitivity to their concerns.
The Peer Roundtable also oversees the corporate associate suggestion program—Here’s an Idea: The RC Exchange
— and manages the ICMA‑RC Leadership Award program. Information about these programs, as well as a listing
of the current members of the Peer Roundtable, can be found on the corporate internet under the Groups tab.
Members of the Peer Roundtable are selected on a rotating basis by current Roundtable members in
consultation with Human Resources.
