Minnesota Women in City Government

Background and Activities

MWCG was founded in 1978, soon after the formation of NLC Women in Municipal Government at the national level. Today, MWCG members participate in programs and activities to encourage more women to exercise leadership in office. MWCG works to bring elected or appointed women city officials together to further the goal of equal representation and partnership with all local officeholders.

MWCG Seeks Leadership Award Nominations

We will be honoring two special women at our annual breakfast in Rochester on June 12th, and we are seeking your help. Please print out our Leadership Award Nomination Form and tell us who you think does a great job as an elected or appointed official.

Four finalists will be honored at our annual meeting, where we will announce the winners. Additional information can be found on the nomination form. The entry deadline is May 10th. For more information about last year's honorees, see our newsletter.

Membership

Please do not forget to pay your annual membership dues. The cost ($25) is very reasonable, and this year, your membership will include a special gift at the annual breakfast, to commemorate our 30 year anniversary! Membership forms are available online, and will also be available at the MWCG Breakfast, at the LMC Annual Conference. We look forward to seeing you there.
