The National League of Cities counts over 2,000 municipalities as members,
plus the 49 state municipal leagues, meaning NLC represents over 218 million
Americans. The National League of Cities is similar to your state municipal
league in that it serves as a voice and resource for local governments, but
NLC is distinct from the state leagues in several ways. NLC offers:
• Representation and advocacy on the federal level,
• A vast pool of geographically diverse members to connect with,
• Its own unique set of programs designed to save your city and residents
time and money, and
• Abundant NLC resources and publications to help your city navigate the
most difficult local government challenges.
