Kentucky League of Cities
The Kentucky League of Cities (KLC) is an association of more than 380 Kentucky cities. KLC provides cities, elected city leaders and municipal employees with a number of services including legislative advocacy, legal services, policy development, community development, research and training, as well as enterprise services such as financing for cities. In addition, KLC Insurance Services is the largest municipal insurance carrier in Kentucky. KLC is overseen by a board of directors representing communities of all sizes and is recognized as one of the nation's most innovative and successful leagues of its kind. KLC was formed in 1927 when 12 Kentucky cities came together to create a unified front on common legislative issues and to benefit from economies of scale for purchases. Today, KLC continues to respond to our members' changing needs. In 1987, cities came to KLC because they could not afford or find insurance. The result was what is now called Kentucky League of Cities Insurance Services (KLCIS), a member-owned insurance pool. Mission Statement: The Kentucky League of Cities serves as the united voice of cities by supporting community innovation, effective leadership and quality governance.
