Dear John:
The National League of Cities (N-LC) relies on a strong committee structure to develop municipal
policy and positions on issues before the United States Congress. To ensure that NLC policy
committees reflect all geographical interests, the executive director of each state municipal league is
allotted a certain number of appointments to seats on each committee. The Iowa League of Cities'
allocation is four seats on each of the seven policy committees.
On behalf of the Iowa League of Cities, I have appointed you to serve as one of Iowa's
representatives on the Finance Administration and Intergovernmental Relations Policy Committee.
Policy committees meet twice a year, once in conjunction with the NLC Congressional City
Conference and again at the NLC Congress of Cities. If you plan to attend either one, or both, of these
meetings, you may want to check the date and time for your committee meeting.
It is likely that NLC will provide materials on the committee somewhat in advance of the national
meetings, but typically you will not receive it much earlier than a week or two prior to the meeting. If
you have questions about this appointment, do not hesitate to contact Andi Stewart or myself at the
League.
