The Institute’s effectiveness in promoting good government at the
local level is greatly enhanced by its close working relationship
with associations that represent local government agencies across
the state.
ILG’s parent organization is the League of California Cities
(Cal Cities), whose mission is to expand and protect
local control for cities through education and advocacy to
enhance the quality of life for all Californians.
Through ILG, Cal Cities members gain access to more specialized
expertise, in-depth training, and collaborative solutions that
help city leaders navigate and address complex challenges.
ILG also works with other local government advocacy groups,
including the California State Association of Counties and the
California Special Districts Association, and invites all local
officials to take advantage of the Institute’s expertise and
resources.
