The National Municipal Policy is a compilation of federal policy positions adopted by the full NLC membership. These positions focus on federal actions, programs, and legislation that directly impact municipalities and guide all of NLC’s federal advocacy efforts.
The policy development process is dynamic and inclusive, encouraging NLC members to identify emerging topics of immediate and long-term consequence to the nation’s cities and towns and allowing them to develop standing positions and advocacy strategies.
Proposed changes to the National Municipal Policy will be voted on during the Annual Business Meeting at City Summit, Saturday, November 16 in Tampa, FL. NLC members will vote on the proposed changes there.
