The National League of Cities (NLC) Annual Business Meeting will be held on Saturday,
November 12, 2011 from 2:30 to 4:30pm, at the conclusion of the Congress of Cities and
Exposition in Phoenix, AZ. As a direct member city, your city is entitled to vote at this meeting.
Based on the population as of the 2000 Census, each member city casts between one and twenty
votes. The number of votes for each population range can be found on the table on the reverse of
the credentials form.
To be eligible to cast a city's vote, a voting delegate and alternate must be officially designated
by the city using the enclosed credentials form. This form will be forwarded to NLC Credentials
Committee. NLC bylaws expressly prohibit voting by proxy. City elected officials should be
made aware of this request so that decisions can be made as to who will be the voting delegate
and alternate(s).
At the Congress of Cities, the voting delegate must pick up the city's voting card at the
Credentials Booth before the Annual Business Meeting and must be present at the Annual
Business Meeting to cast the city's vote. The Credentials Booth will be open during scheduled
times throughout the Congress of Cities.
Please return the completed form to NLC by fax 202-626-3109 on or before October 28,
2011. If you have any questions, please contact Tata Sidibe, sidibe e nlc.org or 202-626-3188 or
Mae Davis, mdavisgnlc.org, 202-626-3150.
Thank you,
