Apply by June 7 to Serve on the League of Minnesota Cities Board of Directors
The nominated candidates will be presented to the League’s membership for final consideration at the LMC Annual Conference.
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 839 diverse 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
Board meetings are typically held in person at the League building in St. Paul during the day on the third Thursday of the month. In addition, each year a two-day Board retreat is held. This year it will be Sept.18-20 in Stillwater. 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 gender, location, and population of directors’ cities, individual position held (elected and appointed), as well as relevant experience and League involvement. We also seek a Board membership with a diversity of races and ethnicities representative of our state’s population.
Election process
A Nominating Committee appointed by League President Jenny Max will interview candidates in person on June 25 in Rochester. The nominated candidates will be presented to the League’s membership for final consideration at the LMC Annual Conference/business meeting on June 27.
League members will elect a president, a first vice president, a second vice president, and at least three directors during the annual business meeting. If a current Board member is elected to an officer position, there would be an additional opening for a director position.
