Advertising Options
Marketing to city officials couldn’t be any easier.

Hundreds of city officials gather for the League’s Annual Conference & Exhibit each year. The three-day event has several options for companies to get their message out to attendees. Present your products, services and solutions to mayors, council members, administrators, city managers and department directors who have influence to impact business decisions in their communities.
The Directory features the names and titles of key officials, both elected and appointed as well as the city hall address, postal address, phone and fax numbers, city hall office hours, location by county, council meeting schedule and the form of government. The Directory also includes a “Services” section which lists businesses and organizations by categories. This Directory is the first place city leaders look when hiring consultants, requesting bids and purchasing supplies. Advertising has closed for the 2024-2025 Directory.
