Norfolk Mayor Josh Moenning has been elected to serve on the Board of Directors of the National League of Cities (NLC), the nation’s largest membership and advocacy organization for local elected officials, at the 2020 Virtual City Summit. 

“Local government is closest to the people and local officials are on the front lines of problem-solving,” Moenning said. “To grow vibrant communities, city leadership must be visionary, innovative, and creative.  I look forward to working with local officials from across the country to address shared challenges like infrastructure modernization, economic growth, and energy innovation.”

Moenning was appointed last year to serve on NLC’s Small Cities Council and its Energy, Environment and Natural Resources Advocacy Committee.  He will be the only Nebraska elected official serving on the NLC Board of Directors for 2021-2022 and one of a few representing cities in the Midwest.  NLC’s newly elected leadership can be found here: https://www.nlc.org/post/2020/11/20/new-president-and-board-members-elected-to-national-league-of-cities/
