MIP provides a safe space for substantive policy discussions and relationship building that helps us serve our communities more efficiently, effectively, and equitably." - Mayor Leirion Gaylor Baird Lincoln, NE
"This conference is perfect for small + midsize population mayors. You learn from peers and subject matter experts.
