<br />IACT members will adopt the Association’s policy resolutions at the conference, which outline <br />IACT’s positions on such issues as local government funding, public safety pensions, <br />environmental infrastructure, land use and economic and community development. <br /> <br />IACT’s two main missions are to provide education and training to the State’s more than 4,000 <br />municipal officials and staff, and to influence the state legislature in the area of laws and policies <br />that affect municipal government. Each year, the Association’s members develop an agenda for <br />which municipal officials will seek legislation at the Indiana Statehouse. <br /> <br />The Indiana Association of Cities and Towns (IACT) is a coalition of municipal officials who seek <br />to improve the quality of life in Indiana through effective government, and is a member of the <br />National League of Cities. Founded in 1891, IACT is one of the oldest state municipal <br />organizations in the country, with 464 cities and towns as members. IACT advocates for <br />municipalities as the official voice of municipal government in Indiana, and promotes good <br />government through education, training and leadership. <br /> <br />Conference Facts: <br />2008 IACT Annual Conference and Exhibition <br />October 12 – 15, 2008 <br />South Bend Century Center <br />120 S.
