Membership in the VML currently includes 38 cities, 170 towns, and nine counties throughout Virginia. Board representatives must be elected or appointed officials from VML-member municipalities. Mayor Burk’s election signifies a heightened profile for the Town of Leesburg within the state’s municipal governance landscape.
