Alabama League of Municipalities

The Alabama League of Municipalities (ALM) is a nonpartisan membership association of more than 450 cities and towns in Alabama. Established on May 15, 1935, as a voluntary association of Alabama's cities and towns, ALM is the primary lobbying advocate for Alabama municipalities, representing its members to the Alabama State Legislature, in the U.S. Congress and with numerous administrative agencies. ALM's services include training for municipal leaders; conferences and meetings where municipal officials and employees can share their views and experiences; and outreach to Alabama citizens regarding the operations of their municipal governments. Its mission is to empower municipal government through advocacy, training and the advancement of effective local leadership. ALM is headquartered in Montgomery and overseen by a president, vice president, and an executive committee that consists of the immediate past president and vice president, the executive director, and five elected municipal officials from each of the state's seven congressional districts. Additionally, six standing committees develop and implement ALM policies and procedures: State and Federal Legislation; Administration and Intergovernmental Relations; Energy, Environment, and Natural Resources; Community and Economic Development; Transportation, Public Safety and Communication; and Human Development.
