YEARS CITY SUMMIT PRECONFERENCE ACTIVITIES AND EXECUTIVE EDUCATION SESSIONS vavateie r,
I would like to request funding to attend The National League of Cities City Summit, November 10-17 in
Tampa Bay, FL. As the country's leading national conference for local elected officials and municipal
staff, NLC's City Summit focuses on best and next practices for municipal leaders and provides
unmatched networking opportunities for those in attendance.
The attendee base is diverse, providing fresh perspectives to help shape our future: NLC is a
nonpartisan organization focused on connecting officials to local government solutions, and the
conference attendance reflects this fact. In any given year, attendees represent almost all 50 states, plus
Washington, D.C., Puerto Rico and Canada, coming from small towns, large cities and everything in
between. With City Summit's packed agenda, I can maximize my time to share ideas and collaborate on
solutions to bring home and implement in Port Arthur.
The educational component addresses today's most relevant topics for our community: economic
development, rebuilding infrastructure, driving sustainability, public safety, and improving outcomes for
youth and families in our community. I can gather tangible takeaways for our community's
consideration.
Part of what makes City Summit so unique is the mobile workshops. At this year's event, I will get a
chance to explore a city experiencing dramatic growth, see the impact on affordability and diversity, and
how community leaders are managing these changes.
In addition, by investing in pre-conference sessions with NLC University, I have an opportunity to get an
in-depth understanding of key issues while interacting with peers and national experts that further
develop my leadership skills. NLCU sessions provide practical solutions and skills to help me map out a
plan or offer me a strategy to solve our community's biggest challenges.
The networking opportunities can lead to valuable connections for our community. Some of the most
important conversations happen outside of the sessions—in fact, past attendees note this as one of the
greatest assets. Each day, I will have numerous dedicated times for meeting and building relationships
with other local elected officials, staff and industry experts who may serve as key contacts for both
present and future initiatives in Port Arthur.
With this scope of outstanding educational content and relationship-building opportunities all in one
place, my attendance will provide our community's leadership with access to top strategies and best
practices that will help us reduce costs, increase efficiencies and build value in various areas for our
residents.
If there's any further information I can provide to support my request, please do not hesitate to ask.
Sincerely,
