Shoreline Councilmember Doris McConnell was named the 2015-2016 president of the Asian Pacific American Municipal Officials (APAMO) constituency group at the group’s annual meeting at the National League of Cities’ (NLC) Congressional City Conference in Washington, D.C.
"It is a great honor to serve as president of APAMO," stated McConnell. "I look forward to working closely with my colleagues across the country on issues important to the Asian/Pacific Islander community and to share their insights with the broader NLC membership."
Established in 1985, APAMO provides a platform for members to discuss problems and explore solutions; debate policy issues; and contribute to the success of American cities and towns.
The group’s board of directors and general members strive to share their experiences in government with other Asian Pacific Americans and local officials. APAMO has a board of directors as well as general members.
The National League of Cities (NLC) is dedicated to helping city leaders build better communities. NLC is a resource and advocate for 19,000 cities, towns and villages, representing more than 218 million Americans.
The National League of Cities represents 218 million Americans? Really? Just what branch of government would that be? No, the National League of Cities is a lobby, a union of elected officials grovelling for federal funding.
