Cedric L. Hicks, Sr. Elected to the National League of Cities’ National Black Caucus of Local Elected Officials Board

CARSON — Cedric L. Hicks, Sr, District 3 Councilmember of Carson, California, was elected Nov. 30 as a 2024 Regional Director of the National Black Caucus of Local Elected Officials or NBC-LEO, a constituency group of the National League of Cities or NLC.

NBC-LEO serves as a forum for communication and networking among African American municipal officials and their colleagues to share ideas and develop leadership experience. Hicks was elected in November at NLC’s 2023 city summit conference in Atlanta, Georgia. Hicks will serve as the NBC-LEO regional director for region 20 which covers the State of California. He will work to boost membership of African American local leaders in that region and welcome them into the caucus.

Established in 1971, the National Black Caucus of Local Elected Officials provides a platform for municipal leaders to connect, share best practices, and advocate for the needs of their communities. The group also contributes to NLC’s leadership development, policy formulation, advocacy, and program activities.
