Mayor Eddie Sundquist has been elected to the National League of Cities Board of Directors by NLC’s membership at the organization’s 2022 City Summit in Kansas City, Mo.

Sundquist was elected to a two-year term and will provide strategic direction and guidance for the league’s federal advocacy, governance and membership activities. The National League of Cities 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.

“I am humbled and honored to be named to the NLC Board of Directors. NLC’s resources and advocacy for cities like Jamestown is invaluable. The opportunities afforded by this position, including helping shape NLC’s strategic direction and priorities going forward, will give us a leg up as we continue Jamestown’s transformation into the new economy,” Sundquist said.

As a member of the board, Sundquist will meet in March, June and November to guide the league’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.
