ILG Advisory Councils

Local government plays an integral part in shaping a thriving community. That’s why ensuring that local government leaders have the best resources, connections, and knowledge available is essential for their success. In order to continue to deliver excellent training and guidance to local government leaders and increase our opportunities to engage on current and emerging issues,

ILG is launching advisory councils for each of our four pillars in 2023.

Advisory council members include industry leaders from a variety of disciplines including academics, community, business and philanthropic leaders, government practitioners as well as current and former local elected officials and agency staff. The council members offer strategic guidance and subject matter expertise to help us understand important policies, emerging issues and key trends in that issue area.

Learn more about each of our Advisory Councils below. Please note, the Advisory Council members are not ILG staff or board members and they cannot be contacted through ILG. Please contact info@ca-ilg.org for more information about our advisory councils.

Public Engagement & Equity Advisory Council

ILG’s Public Engagement pilar seeks to imbed authentic, effective and inclusive public engagement practices that encourage greater public trust and confidence in local government, while also helping local jurisdictions achieve their goals. Our mission is to empower local government leaders, increase capacity, and build trust in their communities.

Sustainable & Resilient Communities Advisory Council

Climate change is an immediate and escalating threat that is having a dramatic impact on the environment, the economies of our communities and on the health and safety of residents. In order to be strong proponents of great local government and to help local agencies provide essential services while also creating vibrant communities, ILG must be a leader in identifying and promoting promising practices in climate-ready communities.
