The National Civic League has been helping communities improve local governance for 125 years! Since January 25, 1894, we have advanced civic engagement to create equitable, thriving communities by helping to develop the council-manager form of government, professional city services and the concept of civic capital as a measure of local problem-solving capacity. To celebrate our 125th Anniversary, we are conducting a membership drive to find 125 new members. Individuals, nonprofits, and local governments are all invited to become members. Help us reach our goal!
