NYCOM was founded in 1910 when forty-two of the state's then forty-nine city mayors, concerned about city health issues, gathered for the first "Conference of Mayors."The meeting was so successful that a resolution was approved calling for another conference to be held the following year, at which time a plan was adopted to create a permanent organization of mayors. In 1915, our first full-time director was appointed and a municipal information service was established to maintain a permanent record of business conducted at the annual meetings. In 1924, the Conference opened its membership to village governments, and eventually changed the basis of membership from solely the mayor to the entire municipal government. The Conference's first legislative program was formulated in 1920 by its Legislative Committee and the first training school was established in 1928. In 1935, NYCOM's Municipal Training Institute was established to "improve the administration of municipal affairs in New York State by providing courses of training for municipal officials in service in New York State cities and Villages." NYCOM is governed by an Executive Committee comprised of sixteen voting members: fifteen mayors from member cities and villages, and one official representing a NYCOM affiliate organization. Four mayoral members of the Executive Committee are annually elected to serve as officers of NYCOM. The Immediate Past President of NYCOM is a voting member of the Executive Committee, while all other Past Presidents still in office as mayor remain on the Executive Committee as ex-officio members.
