For 70 years, the Institute for Local Government has partnered with California’s local governments to provide practical, nonpartisan training and resources that respond to real-world challenges. As we refine our 2026 priorities, we want to hear directly from elected officials, department leaders, and senior staff about what would be most helpful in the year ahead.

Please take 10 minutes to complete ILG’s Annual Priorities Survey and share:

• The most pressing challenges facing your agency
• The types of tools, training, or guidance that would make your job easier
• Where ILG can best support local leaders navigating increasing complexity

Your feedback directly informs ILG’s programs, trainings, and resource development—helping us focus on what matters most and avoid investing in offerings that aren’t useful to you. As a thank you, everyone who completes the survey can enter to win one of two $100 gift cards.

Time commitment: 10 minutes or less

Your perspective helps ensure ILG continues its long-standing role as a trusted partner to local governments—grounded in today’s realities and focused on what’s next.
