Help Select the 2024 League Board of Directors

April 29, 2024

The League is seeking city officials to serve on the Nominating Committee.

Do you want to have an important role in the selection of new members for the 2024 League of Minnesota Cities (LMC) Board of Directors? If so, apply by end of business day on May 31 to be part of the Nominating Committee that interviews and recommends Board candidates. 

Eligibility

The Nominating Committee is made up of 8-12 individuals, consisting of both elected and appointed city officials, from throughout the state. Any city official interested in serving is encouraged to apply. LMC President Jenny Max, Nisswa city administrator, 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. The meeting will be held virtually on June 18 from 10:30 a.m. to 11:30 a.m.

If you are providing a letter of reference for an individual who plans on applying 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 7. The committee will convene in-person in Rochester on the morning of June 25 to interview candidates for the positions of president, first vice president, second vice president, and three director positions. The committee’s recommendations will then be presented to the League’s membership at the LMC Annual Conference/business meeting on June 27. 

How to apply

City officials interested in serving on the Nominating Committee should contact Kellie Sundheim, LMC executive assistant, by 5 p.m. on May 31 at (651) 281-1214 or ksundheim@lmc.org. If you have questions about the committee or the process, reach out to Kellie or LMC Executive Director Luke Fischer at (651) 281-1279 or lfischer@lmc.org.
