Mayors face unique challenges in the executive role. For 15 years, we have created a connected community of mayors dedicated to improving their cities through a high-road focus on equity, sustainability, and democracy. We create spaces for mayors to connect with each other and help them amplify what works.
Meetings
Winter Policy Meetings
The Winter Policy Meetings take place in DC, offering an intense 2 days of focused policy solutions. Many attendees combine this meeting with other DC-related business.
Summer Annual Meetings
The Summer Annual Meetings are hosted by our member city mayors, offering you a chance to visit and learn from a new vibrant city each time. Our Summer Meeting host mayors always show us the best their city has to offer, but they also share how they learned from their challenges.
Membership in the Network
Our network consists of cities in all regions and of all sizes, with a special focus on serving smaller and medium-sized communities. Through membership in our network, mayors find collaboration. We are here to help you succeed, and our role is to connect you to the tools, resources, and innovators that will help you do just that.
