Sequim City Manager Charlie Bush recently received the Credentialed Manager designation from the International City/County Management Association.

Bush is one of more than 1,300 local government professionals currently credentialed through the ICMA Voluntary Credentialing Program.

To receive the prestigious ICMA credential, a member must have significant experience as a senior management executive in local government; have earned a degree, preferably in public administration or a related field; and demonstrated a commitment to high standards of integrity, lifelong learning and professional development.

“This is a well-deserved credential for Charlie,” said Sequim Mayor Dennis Smith. “We are indeed fortunate to have a city manager of this caliber serving the City of Sequim.”

Bush has served as the city manager since August 2015.
