The New Jersey State League of Municipalities (NJLM) is New Jersey’s association of municipalities. NJLM represents all 564 municipalities at the State Legislature, before the state executive branch and regulatory agencies, to the media, public and in the courts. NJLM provides members with a wide array of other services, including legal assistance, individualized inquiry service, assistance in municipal labor relations, technical assistance and training, policy development, research and analysis, publications, informational and service programs, online resource centers and advisory services. Federal representation is provided by NJLM in conjunction with the National League of Cities. NJLM was founded in 1915. NJLM is governed by a Board of Directors, elected by the member municipalities, with due consideration given to geographical representation, municipalities of different sizes, and balance of political parties. Numerous committees of municipal officials participate in the development of policy and programs. NJLM headquarters are located in Trenton.
