Meet Our Board of Directors
The LOC is governed by a 16-member board of directors.
Who We Are
The LOC is the trusted, go-to resource that helps Oregon city staff and elected leaders serve their cities well and speak with one voice.
We are here to provide cities what they need to build thriving communities, through advocacy, training and information. Created in 1925 through an intergovernmental agreement of incorporated cities, the LOC is essentially an extended department of all 241 Oregon cities.
