LEADERSHIP UPDATE
Colleagues,
We are less than a week away from the 2020 Presidential Election. Like so much of 2020, this election will look a little different. More than 50 million people have already voted, surpassing 2016 totals in some states. NLC has worked hard providing resources, best practices, and emphasizing the importance of the election during a global pandemic and racial uprisings. This year has brought so many changes and with each change, I am proud to be leading an organization that has been nimble and flexible to help you respond to these changes.
That’s why I’m excited to join you at City Summit in just two weeks. Have you registered yet? We have added Jo Anne Jenkins, CEO of AARP to our outstanding lineup of keynote speakers. REGISTER NOW to safely connect with peers, corporate partners, and local elected leaders from across the country, right from home.
Sending you strength,
Joe Buscaino
President,
National League of Cities
President Pro Tempore, Los Angeles City Council
