Webinars

Educating and informing our members is at the heart of our mission. That’s why Aim hosts webinars on relevant municipal topics such as current legislative issues and cybersecurity. Each of these webinars is designed to keep you up to date on the subject matter and give you takeaways that you can apply in your municipality.

Property Tax Preview

Monday, December 7, 2:30 p.m. – 4:00 p.m. Eastern
Free for Aim Members / $55 Municipal Non-Members

In addition to our work on local income taxes, Aim continues to engage with lawmakers on proposals being floated to reform property taxes, including a serious proposal to establish property tax rate caps by taxing unit. Join us for a webinar to learn more about what it would mean for cities and towns if Indiana shifted from a levy-based property tax system to a rate-based system and a recap of the changes that passed in SEA 1-2025 that laid the groundwork for this proposal. 

Doing More with Less: AI in Action for Indiana Municipalities

Thursday, December 10, 2:00 p.m. – 3:30 p.m. Eastern
$25 Aim Members / $55 Municipal Non-Members

Indiana municipal leaders are being asked to deliver more with the same or smaller budgets, and generative AI offers practical ways to help close that gap. This 90-minute webinar demonstrates AI in action through real municipal use cases, including summarizing council packets, comparing RFP responses, analyzing service request data, and drafting constituent communications. The session also shares lessons from Indiana communities on where AI is saving time and where governance, data quality, and change management require careful attention. No technical background is required, and attendees will gain a clear understanding of practical use cases and costs. Participants will leave with 3–5 low-risk ways to begin using AI in their own community, regardless of size.
