Local Government Commission

The Local Government Commission (LGC) is a nonprofit organization fostering innovation in environmental sustainability, economic prosperity, and social equity. LGC works to build livable communities and local leadership by connecting leaders via innovative programs and network opportunities, advancing policies through participation at the local and state level, and implementing solutions as a technical assistance provider and advisor to local jurisdictions. Current program areas include Community Design, Healthy Communities, Water, Climate Change, Energy, and National Service. Our focus is on making communities more livable, prosperous, resilient, and sustainable.

In our mission to build livable communities and local leadership, we strive to address inequities throughout our work: in our events and network opportunities; as we advance policies through local and state engagement; and as we provide technical assistance to local jurisdictions. Our work supports those dedicated to improving their communities, and we believe that change is best advanced at the local level.

We are an equal opportunity employer. We celebrate diversity and are committed to creating an inclusive environment for all employees.
