Madison, Indiana (July 14, 2021) City of Madison Mayor Bob Courtney has been selected to serve on the legislative committee for Accelerate Indiana Municipalities (AIM). AIM is an organization that fosters, promotes and advocates for the success of Hoosier municipalities as laboratories of innovation, hubs of talent and the engines that drive our state’s economy. It was founded in the 1890s and was known as the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns until just a few years ago. In 2017, the organization reimagined its role and purpose and evolved into AIM. A priority of AIM is to focus on quality of place and to think boldly about what cities and towns can become. AIM collaborates with legislators, advocating for cities and towns on long-term issues and initiatives. The organization also hosts a major conference and more than 100 training sessions and workshops each year. "The priorities of AIM are right in line with our priorities at the City of Madison. We have a bold vision for the city and have already begun taking steps to position Madison for success well into the future. I appreciate AIM's partnership with the city and their trust in our perspective as a member of the legislative committee," said Mayor Courtney. Membership in AIM includes mayors and municipal leaders from throughout the state. The board works to help shape the dynamic municipalities of the future and help ensure government works for all Hoosiers. “I am eager to join the legislative team on behalf of the City of Madison and am looking forward to being involved in policy at a higher level,” said Courtney. Currently, there are more than 460 member cities and towns in AIM. For more information about AIM, please visit aimindiana.org
