Local governments are complex organizations that require expertise in personnel, finance, planning, development, intergovernmental relations, and an administrative structure that simultaneously coordinates multiple municipal services.
Professional municipal administration is needed to adapt to rapidly changing social and economic conditions, and to increase the capacity of the municipality to provide evermore effective and efficient services.
The old ways that worked in the past can no longer meet modern standards of effectiveness, efficiency, and accountability that are now demanded. Good leadership decisions depend on professional administrative expertise.
