CML supports cooperation among local, state, and federal officials to provide a strong partnership with Colorado's cities and towns.
CML employs a dedicated advocacy team, a reliable source of information about legislative issues and their impact on Colorado's cities and towns and their residents.
Each year, at the CML Annual Business Meeting, municipal members adopt the Policy Statement that guides the CML Executive Board, Policy Committee, and advocacy team during the legislative session.
