The Connecticut Conference of Municipalities is a statewide association representing towns and cities in Connecticut, focused on government relations and policy advocacy. It positions itself as an inclusive organization that brings together urban, suburban, and rural communities and represents municipalities before the General Assembly, the state executive branch and regulatory agencies, and in the courts. The organization offers a broad range of services to member municipalities, including management and labor relations support, technical assistance, policy development, research, publications, and risk-management programs such as workers' compensation and liability-automobile-property insurance, energy cost containment, and related services. Founded in 1966, CCM is headquartered in New Haven with an additional office in Hartford, and is governed by a Board of Directors elected by member municipalities. Recent developments include leadership changes for 2026, with Michael Passero, the mayor of New London, elected president of CCM's board and slated to take office on July 1, 2026.
