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 (LMC) Board of Directors and partner with fellow city officials to guide an organization that represents over 840 member cities across Minnesota. The deadline to apply is June 5.
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 held in person at the League building in St. Paul. 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 addition, each year a two-day Board retreat is held. The 2026 retreat is scheduled for Sept. 23-25 in St. Cloud. The League reimburses all direct meeting expenses of Board members. Mileage is reimbursed at the federally approved rate.
LMC strives to balance the Board of Directors makeup to reflect the makeup of its membership.

During the annual business meeting, League members will elect the following positions:
- President
