ICLEI's QUALIFICATIONS ORGANIZATIONAL BACKGROUND Since 1993, ICLEI U.S.A., a non-profit 501(c) 3 corporation, has been working with local governments to improve global environmental conditions through cumulative local leadership and action. Through performance-based campaigns and initiatives, ICLEI's U.S. office provides local governments with technical expertise and policy assistance as well as access to a valuable national peer network. In the United States, ICLEI is a growing association of local governments (over 40% growth in 2006) dedicated to climate protection and sustainable development with a strong national presence. ICLEI works with these local governments to push the boundaries of traditional leadership in the US and achieve stronger, accelerated movement toward sustainability goals through measured performance and tangible results.
