Ward 1 Councilman Bradley Carter was elected to the National League of Cities (NLC) Board of Directors by NLC’s membership at the organization’s 2024 City Summit in Tampa, Florida, in November.
Carter was elected to a two-year term and will provide strategic direction and guidance for NLC’s federal advocacy, governance and membership activities.
“NLC is developing policy positions on important community issues like housing, land use and economic development,” Councilman Carter said. “I’m eager to advocate for cities and towns nationwide and help shape public policy in our nation’s capital.”
As the largest and most representative organization for cities, their elected leaders and municipal staff, NLC advocates for local government priorities in Washington by building strong federal-local partnerships. NLC Board members are selected by a 15-member nominating committee and are confirmed by a vote from NLC’s membership at the organization’s annual business meeting held in November. As a member of the board, Carter will meetin March, June and November to guide NLC’s strategic direction.
“The Board of Directors is integral to developing the vision and priorities for the National League of Cities,” said National League of Cities President Sharon Weston Broome, Mayor-President of Baton Rouge, Louisiana. “I am thrilled to work shoulder-to-shoulder with this outstanding group of local leaders as they share their knowledge and experience working with the residents of our nation’s cities, towns and villages to build stronger communities.”
More than 4,000 mayors, councilmembers and other delegates from nearly every state and the District of Columbia convened in Tampa, Florida, for NLC’s annual City Summit as the organization celebrated its 100th year of strengthening local government. Local leaders remain on the frontlines of the nation’s most pressing challenges and are working hard to pioneer innovative solutions that move our cities, towns and villages forward.
