There is no direct connection with regions, however TA is provided through regional models such as the high performance organization model. Currently there are two ongoing workgroups. States were asked to rank their needs. They were also asked whether they needed TA, training, or had information to share. At the national Training Center training liaisons are used as contacts.
NCL members are either state municipal leagues or individual cities who are direct members.
Although NLC does not operate regional offices, some of the state league directors participate in organized regional groups. There is also a state league steering committee that is based on regional representation. NLC also provides updates to member cities and state leagues through the Nation's Cities Weekly newspaper. The national office coordinates with the states when reaching out to the cities, but there is no regional office, per se. Most technical assistance is provided through the national office.
