Chapter 31: League of Oregon Cities

The League of Oregon Cities (LOC) is the trusted, go-to resource that helps Oregon city staff and elected leaders serve their cities well and speak with one voice. The LOC provides cities what they need to build thriving communities, through advocacy, training, and information. Created in 1925 through an intergovernmental agreement of incorporated home rule cities, the LOC is essentially an extended department of all 241 Oregon cities.

The LOC’s mission is to support city leaders and state legislators in building a strong Oregon by connecting with all Oregon cities, sharing vital information, and advocating on their behalf.

In this chapter, we provide an overview of LOC governance structure, services and internal departments.
