The National League of Cities recently appointed two of Avondale’s councilmembers to their National Committees.
Councilmembers Veronica Malone and Gloria Solorio will serve one-year terms in various committees in the NLC.
“I’m pretty excited about it,” Malone said. “With the growth of Avondale and being able to be on a national level and being able to do policy at a federal level and bringing our issues to the table, as well as listening to similar challenges other cities are. So, I’m extremely blessed to be on the committee. I’m excited to be at the table.”
Malone and Solorio will serve on multiple committees for the 2023 NLC Council. They both will be serving on the Youth, Education and Families Committee, where Solorio is a co-chair of the council. Malone will be a member of the Community and Economic Development Federal Advocacy Committee.
