Councilmember Moon’s role on the Asian Pacific American Municipal Officials Board provides a platform to amplify the voices and concerns of the Asian Pacific American community within the broader municipal landscape.
Steve Powers, City Administrator of Mukilteo, shared his enthusiasm for his reappointment to the NLC’s Finance, Administration, and Intergovernmental Relations Federal Advocacy Committee.
“I’m honored to have been selected for this Committee once again this year,” said City Administrator Powers. “Last year the Committee tackled a number of important topics, including how the federal government could improve its grant process for cities. I look forward to working on similar issues this year that benefit the residents of Mukilteo.”
As a member of NLC’s Finance, Administration, and Intergovernmental Relations Federal Advocacy Committee, City Administrator Powers will continue to advocate for solutions to administrative issues America’s cities, towns, and villages are facing.
The City of Mukilteo extends its congratulations to Mayor Joe Marine, Councilmember Jason Moon, and City Administrator Steve Powers on their appointments and looks forward to their continued leadership and advocacy on behalf of Mukilteo.
