NLC Congress of Cities

On behalf of the League of Arizona Cities and Towns and the National League of Cities, we would like to extend an invitation for you to join us at the National League of Cities Congress of Cities conference in Austin, Texas, this November 19-22. The partnership between the state municipal leagues and NLC is one that was established in the founding of the National League of Cities and today is stronger than ever. And, following the successful LACT Annual Conference recently in Phoenix, we are sure you will want to participate with fellow city and town officials from all across the USA this fall.

This year's NLC conference will be jam-packed with workshops to prepare you for whatever comes your city's way. Take your leadership to the next level by getting expert insights into relevant topics like climate resilience, veteran employment, economic development, and transportation technology. Don't miss out on this opportunity to get the emerging strategies and best practices you need to take your city into the future!

Take a field trip around Austin with one of NLC's mobile workshops, which will showcase 16 of Austin's creative solutions to common city challenges, like affordable housing and downtown development. Go on a hike through the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center, taste organic produce at an urban farm, and visit an award-winning mixed-use redevelopment. You're sure to find inspiration while learning all about the vibrant, innovative city of Austin.

You'll also have plenty of chances to network with local leaders from all over the country, including a fantastic Closing Celebration at the LBJ Library, featuring all different kinds of live music and Austin's best food! Catch up with your colleagues at State League receptions, and make new connections at one of the networking events.

The Arizona League and NLC continue to work as partners to bring a voice your cities and towns statewide and nationally. We hope you're able to come to Austin and take advantage of this wonderful networking opportunity to learn from your peers about the great things happening in cities around the country. Learn all about it here!
