Chandler Councilmember Matt Orlando has been re-elected to the National League of Cities (NLC) Board of Directors. The election took place during the 2024 City Summit in Tampa, Florida, last month. Orlando will serve a two-year term on the board.
The NLC Board of Directors plays a crucial role in providing strategic direction and guidance for federal advocacy, governance, and membership activities. The board addresses various city-related topics such as housing, jobs, public safety, infrastructure, and transportation.
Councilmember Orlando expressed his enthusiasm about continuing his role on the board. "I’m thrilled to continue representing the City of Chandler on the NLC Board of Directors," he stated. "I will continue to advocate for our residents and guide effective policy decisions to benefit our region — leading to a better quality of life locally."
The National League of Cities is recognized as the largest organization representing cities along with their elected leaders and municipal staff. It advocates for city priorities in Washington by fostering strong federal-local partnerships.
Board members are chosen by a 15-member nominating committee and confirmed through a vote by NLC’s membership at its annual business meeting. Councilmember Orlando has been part of the NLC Board since November 2022.
