4 NLC POLICY DEVELOPMENT AND ADVOCACY PROCESS As a resource and advocate for more than 19,000 cities, towns and villages, the National League of Cities (NLC) brings municipal officials together to influence federal policy affecting local governments. NLC adopts positions on federal actions, programs and proposals that directly impact municipalities and formalizes those positions in the National Municipal Policy (NMP), which guides NLC s federal advocacy efforts. NLC divides its advocacy efforts into seven subject areas: Community and Economic Development Energy, Environment and Natural Resources Finance, Administration and Intergovernmental Relations Human Development Information Technology and Communications Public Safety and Crime Prevention Transportation and Infrastructure Services For each of the seven issue areas, a Federal Advocacy Committee advocates in support of NLC s federal policy positions. Members of each Committee serve for one calendar year, and are appointed by the NLC President. Federal Advocacy Committees Federal Advocacy Committee members are responsible for advocating on legislative priorities, providing input on legislative priorities, and reviewing and approving policy proposals and resolutions. Additionally, Committee members engage in networking and sharing of best practices. Federal Advocacy Committees are comprised of local elected and appointed city and town officials from NLC member cities. NLC members must apply annually for membership to a Federal Advocacy Committee. The NLC President makes appointments for chair, vice chairs, and general membership. In addition to leading the Federal Advocacy Committees, those appointed as Committee chairs will also serve on NLC s Board of Directors during their leadership year. At the Congressional City Conference, Federal Advocacy Committee members are called upon to advocate for NLC s legislative priorities on Capitol Hill, as well as develop the committee s agenda and work plan for the year. Committee members meet throughout the year to further the plan, hear from guest presenters, discuss advocacy strategies and develop specific policy amendments and resolutions. At the City Summit, Committee members review and approve policy proposals and resolutions. These action items are then forwarded to NLC s Resolutions Committee and are considered at the Annual Business Meeting, also held during the City Summit. Advocacy Throughout the year, Committee members participate in advocacy efforts to influence the federal decisionmaking process, focusing on actions concerning local governments and communities. During the Congressional City Conference, Committee members have an opportunity, and are encouraged, to meet with their congressional representatives on Capitol Hill. When NLC members are involved in the legislative process and share their expertise and experiences with Congress, municipalities have a stronger national voice, affecting the outcomes of federal policy debates that impact cities and towns. 3
