Today’s local leaders face rapidly shifting challenges—from natural disasters and population changes to evolving economic, social, and political pressures. Success requires adaptability, resilience, and a commitment to civility even in times of uncertainty.
This year’s National Civility Summit for Local Government will offer real-world strategies, practical tools, and peer insights to help you navigate change with confidence. Through keynote sessions, interactive discussions, and opportunities to connect with fellow leaders, you’ll explore approaches to addressing challenges, building trust, and strengthening your community—no matter what the future holds.
This program is ideal for mayors, city council members, administrators, clerks, chamber officials, and other local leaders committed to building stronger, more responsive communities.
