Established in 1970, NBC-LEO is a space for members to express themselves, share best practices, and ensure that NLC’s policies and programs benefit their community. NBC-LEO serves as a vehicle for members to discuss problems and explore solutions, debate policy issues, and contribute to the success of American cities and towns. The group meets three times a year in person and hosts a variety of webinars and programs throughout the year.
The National Black Caucus of Local Elected Officials (NBC-LEO) is a group within NLC that represents the interests of African America municipal officials and provides a forum to share ideas and develop leadership experience.
