Serve on the LMC Board of Directors
Deadline for Board applications is May 30
Serving on the League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) Board of Directors is both an honor and responsibility. One of the League's strengths has always been its broad and diverse membership. Our ability to serve members' needs and exhibit leadership by anticipating and proactively addressing city challenges hinges on a Board of Directors that is representative, responsible, strategic, and visionary.
The governance roles and responsibilities of LMC Board members are outlined in the Board's Governance Handbook (pdf). The LMC Board developed the handbook in order to guide the manner in which Board business is conducted and to outline the values that drive Board service. If you are interested in serving on the LMC Board, please review the handbook before submitting an application to ensure you are aware of the roles and responsibilities.
A Nominating Committee appointed by the League president will interview candidates June 11 at the LMC Annual Conference in Rochester. The nominated candidates will be presented to members at the annual business meeting on
June 12.
The committee considers the following factors when selecting nominees:
- Geographic representation
- City population
- Gender
- City position (appointed vs. elected)
- League experience and involvement
League members will elect a president, a first vice president, a second vice president, and four directors-one of whom will be recommended by the city of Minneapolis. If a current Board member is elected to an officer position, there would be one additional opening for a director position.
The application, Board & Officer Nominating Process, and Selection Criteria are available by contacting Donyelle Mikacevich, LMC, at (651) 281-1202, (800)925-1122 or dmikacev@lmc.org. The deadline to submit an application and brief resume is May 30.
