Design of the New ICMA Learning Lab Website

March 2023

The ICMA Learning Lab website is a revenue generating resource that sells professional development courses to ICMA members and non-members in the profession of local government. The ICMA Learning Lab is a combination of two separate websites where the shopping experience happens on Shopify while the learning experience happens on Litmos.
