Findings indicate that city managers know the code and highlight the importance of local government experience. The data lead to a discussion of possible next steps for professional organizations.

“…We can teach and test calculus, but training people for moral reasoning is a more dubious goal. We might look back to the ethics study of Streib and Rivera (2010) where experience enhanced ethical knowledge on actual test items that were normed against the responses of practicing managers. Newly minted MPA graduates were not producing the highest scores.…”

Ces recherches ont ouvert le chantier des analyses plus systémiques dans le domaine de l’éthique du service public en général, et dans l'univers de l’éthique de la gouvernance municipale en particulier.…”

In addition, the Dialogue modified the ICMA Code of Ethics, creating a new requirement of a commitment to professional development (Streib & Rivera, 2010). These initiatives ultimately led to the Applied Knowledge Assessment for ICMA's Voluntary Credentialing program (Streib, 2005).…”
