Published on December 18, 2023
Coral Springs, FL – Coral Springs Commissioner Joshua Simmons was elected to the National League of Cities (NLC) Board of Directors by NLC’s membership at the organization’s 2023 City Summit in Atlanta, GA held in November.
Simmons was elected to a two-year term and will provide strategic direction and guidance for NLC’s federal advocacy, governance, and membership activities. NLC is the largest and most representative organization for cities, their elected leaders and municipal staff, and advocates for city priorities in Washington by building strong federal-local partnerships.
Approaching his final term as a board member, Simmons intends to represent Coral Springs on a national level while working alongside elected leaders across the country to share ideas.
“As I prepare for my final term as an NLC Board Member, I look forward to amplifying the priorities of Coral Springs residents while, simultaneously, collaborating strategically to strengthen municipalities across the nation,” Simmons said. “It’s our collective strength that allows us to thrive, and I plan to make the most of my time exploring the most effective ways to positively impact the lives of residents in Coral Springs and beyond.”
As a member of the board, Simmons will meet in March, June, and November to guide NLC’s strategic direction. Board members are selected by a 15-member nominating committee and are confirmed by a vote from NLC’s membership at the organization’s annual business meeting.
“The National League of Cities Board of Directors plays an essential role in guiding our organization’s priorities and programming,” said National League of Cities (NLC) President David Sander, mayor-elect of Rancho Cordova, CA. “I look forward to working closely together with this remarkable group of leaders to elevate the voices and priorities of cities, towns, and villages across America over this next very important year.”
More than 3,000 mayors, councilmembers, and other delegates from nearly every state and the District of Columbia convened in Atlanta for City Summit. Local leaders are on the frontlines of the nation’s most pressing challenges and are working hard to pioneer innovative solutions that move our cities, towns, and villages forward.
