Apply to Serve on a LOC Policy Committee
The LOC is soliciting statements of interest to serve on its seven policy committees beginning in January 2024. Elected officials and city employees who are interested in serving on these committees must submit their Statements of Interest by October 31.
There are seven LOC policy committees, all of which serve as an advisor to the LOC Board of Directors, Executive Director and Legislative Director on matters related to state legislative initiatives championed by the organization. Each of the seven policy committees develop recommendations for the Board of Directors regarding specific legislative initiatives that serve as the basis for establishing LOC legislative priorities over a two-year period.
The seven policy committees include:
- Broadband, Cybersecurity & Telecommunications Policy Committee
- Community & Economic Development Policy Committee
- Energy & Environment Policy Committee
- Finance & Taxation Policy Committee
- General Government Policy Committee
- Transportation Policy Committee
- Water & Wastewater Policy Committee
Each policy committee is intended to be comprised of a range of perspectives. For the committees to be successful, they need to include technical experts, elected officials, and municipal officials who are generally interested in the subject matter. Committees are designed to be a balance between rural, suburban, and urban cities, while simultaneously, as much as reasonably possible, representing all regions of the state. Anyone interested in serving on a policy committee is strongly encouraged to apply.
