Training for participation in international events was seen as a necessity early in the development of the Florida League of Cities' International Program. As part of the International Relations Committee, an Academy Sub-Committee was formed to clarify plans for a training element and to determine municipal needs for international involvement.
The result was the concept for an International Academy, the first of which was held in August 2000. Since then, an Advanced Academy and a Round Table program have also been developed.
