Overview
The Congressional City Conference is an annual legislative forum that brings together more than 2,000 elected and appointed city leaders to focus on the federal policy issues that are important to local governments. In addition to providing opportunities to learn about innovative practices implemented at the local level, the conference connects city leaders from across the country with NLC-the organization that members of Congress, the White House, and federal agencies look to for solutions to addressing the nation's economic challenges.
Stand up for the issues that matter to cities.
As the 113th Congress gets underway, come to Washington, DC and join your fellow city leaders in calling on House and Senate members and the Administration to set aside partisan differences and break through the gridlock in order to find ways to support economic recovery and job creation efforts in our communities.
Make your voice heard at NLC's annual legislative conference, where you can share your hard-won insights with members of Congress, the White House, and federal agency representatives, as well as with your colleagues from across the country.
Key federal policy issues to be addressed include:
- Federal budget deficit reduction plans
- Federal job creation and economic development strategies
- Federal tax code reform and municipal finance
- Immigration Reform
