National Civic Associations' Y2K Programs

Four U.S. national governmental organizations, the National League of Cities (NLC), the National Association of Counties (NACo), the International City/County Management Association (ICMA), and Public Technology, Inc. (PTI), have combined resources to initiate a national year 2000 awareness campaign for local governments. See the press release.

NACo has established a Year 2000 web site that includes specific articles and information for county governments.

The Public Technology, Inc., site has a "Y2K & You" section to help local officials and their staffs inform the public and address technology problems that may occur in the Year 2000. Their primer of guidelines on how to proceed comes highly recommended by people at Computer Professionals for Social Responsibility.

If you know of any other national civic associations' programs for Y2K, please tell us so we can post them here. Send email to cii@igc.apc.org.
