About Aim
Formerly known as the Indiana Association of Cities and Towns, Aim is the official voice of municipal government in Indiana. We’re a nonpartisan organization that works closely with state legislators and other organizations on key initiatives related to quality of place and making government work better for the benefit of all Hoosiers.
Aim believes that Indiana advances when its municipalities are empowered.
We represent cities and towns statewide, and we have more than 460 municipal members of all sizes.
Our work involves
Advocacy
Aim represents municipal government before the Indiana General Assembly. We advocate for the success of Hoosier municipalities as laboratories of innovation, hubs of talent, and the engines driving the Indiana economy.
Education and networking
We host an annual conference that features state and national speakers, workshops, and a large exhibition; as well as other events throughout the year on a variety of municipal topics. And our Legislative Day provides members with key legislative insights, as well as networking access in the Indiana Statehouse.
Budgeting
Aim publishes a comprehensive guide to municipal budgeting. This annual guide helps members navigate the process, forms, deadlines, and inevitable changes involved in municipal budget adoption.
