Join the Coastal Cities Group Leadership and drive coastal and sea level rise policies

By Cal Cities Staff

Cal Cities is accepting applications through Oct. 30 for a year-long appointment to its Coastal Cities Group Leadership Committee. Composed of the 61 cities within the coastal zone, Coastal Cities Group representatives collaborate on sea level rise mitigation efforts, land use regulations, and other coastal issues. 

The leadership committee consists of one elected official and their respective city manager or staff designee from each of the six regions within the coastal zone. The committee helps facilitate the group’s operations and plays a key role in its activities, including building relationships with California Coastal Commissioners and staff, legislative briefings, and assessment strategies for managing sea level rise impacts along the coastline.

The Coastal Cities Group chair and vice chair positions are drawn from the leadership committee.

Applicants will be reviewed for their leadership skills, policy awareness, expertise on coastal issues, and experience within Cal Cities. Applications must be submitted online.
