Mayor Cieslewicz is excited to spend the morning rolling up his sleeves with neighborhood leaders at the upcoming Citywide neighborhood conference. This year's conference will give community and neighborhood leaders a chance to let City government know what's on their minds and offer advice on what can be done to make this City's neighborhoods even better.

This fourth biennial neighborhoods conference is a way to support neighborhood associations in their local efforts. The one-half day event will focus on discussing what is important to neighborhood leaders and how we can work together to continually grow strong, dynamic neighborhood leaders. Neighborhood residents and people who care about neighborhoods are invited to attend. 

The conference will concentrate on emerging issues identified by attendees through brainstorming, prioritizing, and voting on important issues. This will help the City better understand what neighborhoods are facing and how we can help neighborhood leaders be prepared and successful in their community work.
