The National League of Cities elected two officials from Fulton county cities to its 2017 board of directors during its annual business meeting in Pittsburgh: Union City mayor Vince Williams and Fairburn city council member Elizabeth Hurst.

Williams and Hurst are among three from Georgia, including Savannah mayor pro tempore Van Johnson, on the NLC board.

Board members will meet during the year to guide the organization’s strategic direction, set its advocacy priorities and its operational goals.

NLC, which advocates on behalf of local governments, represents more than 19,000 cities, villages and towns.
