Each year the National League of Cities holds its annual City Summit. A gathering of city leaders for educational seminars, policymaking and networking activities. This event regularly floats around the United States, stopping in communities large enough to handle the large crowds of attendees. This year’s conference is in Kansas City. Right in the heart of the Upper Midwest.

National League of Cities on Twitter: "NLC is heading to the heartland for City Summit 2022! Connect with local leaders and city staff from across the county this fall: https://t.co/RIt1EN6XBK #NLCCS #citysummitkc

NLC calls itself “the voice of America’s cities, towns and villages” as they represent numerous communities around the nation. They work to help improve leadership in communities and work with federal leadership as well as a voice for the cities that they represent.

As stated on the NLC website the goal of the City Summit is to:

Our communities depend on forward-thinking leaders to take bold action to build a brighter future. We’ll share with peers, public and private sector stakeholders and subject matter experts how to best use impact, action and service as tools for a better tomorrow.

Rural Resurrection looks to NLC to understand what issues are affecting other communities and can have an impact on rural communities. Last year we took a look at the State of the Cities Report.

Registration is open and rates will go up as the November 17-19, 2022 conference draws near. So if you are interested in attending this massive annual event register now through the NLC website.
