McHenry County Government Receives Achievement Award

On Friday, October 26, McHenry County was recognized by the International City/County Management Association (ICMA) for achieving the Council-Manger (CM) Recognition for its high level of professional local government management through the ICMA Local Government Recognition Process.

The ICMA Local Government Recognition Process identifies local governments that, by ordinance, charter, or other legal document, have established positions of professional authority.


Recognition means that McHenry County is identified as a local government that provides a legal framework conducive to the practice of professional management.  McHenry County is one of three counties in the State of Illinois to have achieved the CM Recognition.  The other two are Lake and Champaign Counties.


McHenry County joins a total of 3,297 recognized communities (cities, counties, leagues, and councils of governments) from across the United States that have achieved the CM Recognition through the ICMA Local Government Recognition Process. The County was one of 11 communities to be formally recognized in 2012.
