New name, same values

After 78 years of operation, the Australian Local Government Managers Association (ALGMA) has changed its name and logo, to become LG Professionals Australia.

The transition was explained in a statement on the organisation’s website:

“A lot has changed in the local government sector since our association was formed in 1936, but one thing remains true, and that’s our commitment to promote professional development, best practice, and deliver partnership opportunities for Australian councils and their staff.

“We’ve changed our name and our logo to better reflect what we stand for, and the value we provide as the peak voice for local government professionals, with the support of our Federation partners.”

LG Professionals Australia works on behalf of local government employees, to promote professional development, best practice, and to deliver partnership opportunities for Australian councils.

The organisation is a federation with offices in NSW, QLD, SA, TAS, VIC and WA, and a national office based in Melbourne.
