Friday is the Deadline to Apply for Two League Board of Directors Positions
Apr 24, 2017
All nominees for second vice president must currently be serving or have previously served on the board of directors. Applications for second vice president from northern California are encouraged. April 28 is the deadline to apply.
Board Composition
The board of directors comprises the League’s officers — president, first vice president, second vice president, immediate past president and executive director — a representative from each of the League’s 16 divisions, and a representative from each of the League’s 11 functional departments, the mayors or designees (alternates) of the mayors of the 10 largest cities by population, and 12 at-large positions, with one reserved for a representative of a small city (under 12,000 population).
City officials serving on the National League of Cities (NLC) board of directors also serve on the League of California Cities board of directors for the duration of their term on the NLC board (two-year term).
The League board typically meets on a quarterly basis at locations throughout the state. Nominees are expected to make a commitment to attend all meetings. All travel-related expenses to attend League board meetings are reimbursed by the League.
