DESCRIPTION:
The NLC is an organization through which city officials work together on a national level to
further their common interests and the interests of their citizens. The NLC Congressional City
Conference, to be held in Washington, D.C, from March 12-16, 2011, provides local elected
officials and municipal staff a myriad of opportunities to learn about federal issues important to
America's cities and towns, to lobby Congress on those priorities, and to be part of a clear and
unified voice. The program includes general sessions featuring national leaders, members of
the Administration and Congress, workshops and pre-conference leadership seminars.
The NLC Annual Conference is scheduled to be held November 8- 12, 2011, in Phoenix,
Arizona. During this conference, the annual business meeting is held, at which each member
city is afforded the opportunity to shape the NLC's federal advocacy agenda for the upcoming
year by casting a vote on preferred policy recommendations. In order for the City of Dublin to
participate in this meeting, the City Council will need to appoint a voting delegate, and an
alternate, to attend and vote on the City's behalf at the conference. ~
Once City Councilmembers have been appointed to attend one or both of the conferences,
notification of voting delegate and alternate will be forwarded to the NLC. Last year's
appointees were Councilmember Hart as the voting delegate, and Vice Mayor Hildenbrand as
the alternate.
