Background
The League of California Cities (CalCities) assists its members by defending and expanding local control through advocacy efforts. They also provide education and training programs designed to teach city officials about new developments in their field and exchange solutions to common challenges facing cities. Each year, the League hosts a Conference and Expo featuring a variety of speakers and timely presentations on key topics and opportunities for peer-to-peer sharing with other California city officials. During the Conference, CalCities convenes a member-driven General Assembly and Resolutions process, providing for member engagement on a range of significant policy issues to protect local control.
In order to vote at the Annual General Assembly, CalCities requires City Council action designating a voting delegate and up to two alternate voting delegates. Cal Cities must be notified of the City’s representatives by September 25, 2024.
