Council Membership
The Leadership Training Council consists of elected and appointed officials from across the United States. Council members, appointed by the President of the National League of Cities, serve a one-year term. The Leadership Training Council meets three times a year, at both of NLC's annual conferences and at the Annual Leadership Summit.
The Leadership Training Council also guides the program development of the annual Leadership Summit, various Regional Leadership Institute training programs, as well as the overall development and evaluation of all LTI seminar programs and events. Moreover, the Leadership Training Council continues to be instrumental in the advancement of the Certificate of Achievement in Leadership program for all NLC members.
