Apply by June 6 To Serve on the LMC Board of Directors
The nominated candidates will be presented to the League’s membership for final consideration at the LMC Annual Conference in June.
Apply now to serve on the League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) Board of Directors and partner with other city officials to oversee an organization that represents over 840 member cities throughout the state.
Serving on the LMC Board is both an honor and responsibility. LMC’s ability to serve its members and exhibit effective leadership by anticipating and proactively addressing challenges is the result of Board guidance that is strategic, responsible, and representative of all cities’ interests.
If you are interested in serving on the LMC Board, please review the League of Minnesota Cities Governance Handbook (pdf) before submitting an application to ensure you are aware of the roles and responsibilities. The Governance Handbook was developed by the Board to guide the manner in which Board business is conducted and to outline the expectations of Board service.
Board meetings and composition
Each fall, the Board approves the calendar for the upcoming year with most meetings occurring on the second or third Thursday of the month, in-person, at the League building in St. Paul. In addition, each year a two-day Board retreat is held. The 2025 retreat is scheduled for Sept. 17-19 in Walker. The League reimburses all direct meeting expenses of Board members. Mileage is reimbursed at the federally approved rate.
LMC strives to balance Board makeup by achieving a greater diversity of candidates including, but not limited to, factors of geography, community population, variety of city experience, and gender and race representative of our state’s population.
Election process
A Nominating Committee appointed by League President Justin Miller will interview candidates in person on June 24 in Duluth. The nominated candidates will be presented to the League’s membership for final consideration at the LMC Annual Conference/business meeting on June 26.
League members will elect a president, a first vice president, a second vice president, and at least four directors during the annual business meeting. If a current Board member is elected to an officer position, there will be an additional opening for a director position.
