IMGA MEMBERS....  In Their Own Words!

 

"It's important to remember that the IMGA is a non-profit unit of municipal government, created BY municipal governments specifically to SERVE municipal governments."  --John Watret, Utility Manager, Franklin, Illinois.

 

"The biggest benefit of the IMGA is that we are all allowed to hold onto our own identity.  Each purchase is set up for our specific town, not all towns in general.  The Agency knows our specific situation and works to meet our needs."  --Carol Mitchell, Mayor, Tamms, Illinois.

 

"The most important thing I've learned is that I actually trust the people I'm working with.  I can trust them for accurate pricing information, and for the latest on what's going on in the market.  IMGA gives us the knowledge we need, the service we trust."  --Linda Viola, Office Manager, Riverton, Illinois.
