Help Select the 2026 League Board of Directors
The League is seeking city officials to serve on the Nominating Committee.
Are you interested in helping to shape the League of Minnesota Cities (LMC)? Join the 2026 Nominating Committee for an opportunity to interview and recommend candidates for the Board of Directors. Applications for the committee are due by 5 p.m. on May 29.
Eligibility
The Nominating Committee is made up of both elected and appointed city officials from throughout Minnesota. Any city official interested in serving is encouraged to apply. LMC President Wendy Berry, West St. Paul city council member, will choose committee appointees by June 5.
Selection process and dates
Once the Nominating Committee has been selected and members have been notified, there will be a conference call to provide information on the selection process and guidelines for conducting the Board candidate interviews, deliberations, and decision-making steps. This mandatory meeting will be held virtually on June 15 from noon-1 p.m.
If you are providing a letter of reference or work directly with an individual who plans to apply to the Board of Directors, we ask that you refrain from applying to be on the Nominating Committee. This ensures that no conflicts of interest arise during the process.
The interview schedule will be finalized after the Board application deadline of June 5. The committee will convene in person in Rochester on the morning of June 23 to interview candidates for president, first vice president, second vice president, four three-year-term director positions, and one two-year-term director position. The committee’s recommendations will then be presented to the League’s membership at the annual business meeting on June 25, which is held during the LMC Annual Conference.
How to apply
City officials interested in serving on the Nominating Committee should contact Jennifer Garske, executive coordinator at LMC, by 5 p.m. on May 29 at [email protected] or (651) 281-1275. If you have questions about the Nominating Committee or the process for selecting Board candidates, reach out to Jennifer or LMC Executive Director Luke Fischer [email protected] or at (651) 281-1279.
