VALUABLE PUBLICATIONS. Associate members receive important information about cities through NLC's wide range of publications, including case study, guidebook, and research reports. Whether the topic is economic development, municipal finance, public safety, jobs, environmental protection, or low-income housing, NLC publications provide practical information about how cities are meeting today's challenges and planning for tomorrow. NLC publishes five to ten new titles each year and Associate Members receive complimentary copies of all new NLC publications.
- ACCESS TO THE MUNICIPAL MARKET. Associate members receive an annual directory listing the names, addresses, and telephone and fax numbers of more than 15,000 key municipal leaders in nearly 1,900 cities and towns throughout the U.S., plus other directories which highlight the operations and staff responsibilities of NLC and the 49 state municipal leagues.
