NCLM Programs

Consulting Services

​As part of our mission to promote excellence and efficiency in municipal government, the League provides a forum for the exchange of ideas among municipal officials. 

The League consults with members to assist municipal leaders in addressing the needs and interests of their citizens. Our staff support citizens working together with municipalities and municipalities working together through the League.

Employment Liability

​​​​The League can assist member cities and towns with a broad spectrum of topics, ranging from large projects such as pay-class studies to guiding a member through a single human resource related issue. 

American Rescue Plan

NCLM & ARP

Later that year, North Carolina opted to grant the N.C. League of Municipalities a portion of its SLFRF allocation. The League is directed to use these funds to provide guidance and technical assistance to municipalities in the spending of their SLFRF funds. As a result, the League has created a robust portfolio of service lines to support local towns as they allocate and report their ARP expenditures.

Racial Equity Programming

DIRECT: Diversity, Inclusion & Racial Equity for Cities & Towns

DIRECT helps North Carolina cities and towns, as well as their elected and appointed officials, strengthen their communities by identifying and addressing racial disparities at the local level.

DIRECT works alongside municipal leaders to acknowledge existing inequalities, identify local history and data, and examine municipal policies and procedures that contribute to structural and systemic racism in local communities. Through this shared understanding and knowledge, DIRECT empowers local officials to develop strategies that work toward stronger, more equitable communities. 

NCLM believes that the DIRECT Approach will help cities and towns with the understanding and shared language necessary to tackle racial equity and related issues in a robust and practical way.
