NATIONAL CIVIC LEAGUE

All-America City Program Logo

The 'National Civic League' is an organization founded in 1894 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania at a meeting of politicians, policy-makers, journalists, and educators (including Theodore Roosevelt, Louis Brandeis, Marshall Field, and Frederick Law Olmsted) to discuss the future of American cities. Originally called the 'National Municipal League', it aimed to increase the transparency and honesty of city governments, and share knowledge between cities.
It is best known for its All-America City Award, given to ten communities annually. It also has a Community Services Program, New Politics Program, and Federal-Community Partnership Program.
The current interim president of the NCL is Derek Okubo, who replaced Christopher T. Gates on June 15, 2006.
