Ward 1 Councilman Bradley Carter has been appointed to the National League of Cities (NLC) 2025 Large Cities Council.
Councilman Carter was selected to serve a one-year term to develop and guide programs among local elected officials from similar communities. The appointment was announced by NLC President Steve Patterson, Mayor of Athens, Ohio.
“I’m eager to learn from leaders of other large cities and explore potential collaborations,” Councilman Carter said. “However, what excites me most is the opportunity to share the many great initiatives Oklahoma City has implemented with these communities.”
As a member of NLC’s Large Cities Council, Councilman Carter will play a key role among a diverse group of local leaders to encourage collaboration, networking and the development of resources and programs beneficial to communities that share demographics, size or location that can be replicated across the country.
“It is crucial that we bring together local leaders that are representative of all communities to share solutions, and challenges from their hometowns, which are used to develop NLC policies and programs,” said National League of Cities President Steve Patterson, Mayor of Athens, Ohio. “Bring the experience and leadership of Councilman Carter to serve as a member on NLC’s Large Cities Council this year goes a long way to ensuring every city, town and village has the resources they need to lift up their communities and improve the lives of their residents.”
This year’s council leadership will consist of Chair Wardine Alexander, Council President Pro Tem, Birmingham, AL; Vice Chair Abbie Kamin, Councilmember, Houston, TX; and Vice Chair Ed Flynn, Councilor, Boston, MA.
