Announcing NEXT AMERICAN VANGUARD: Setting a New Agenda for Urban Leaders!
Next American City is proud to host its first annual conference geared toward bringing together the next generation of urban leaders. For the two-day event on May 20-21, 2009 in Washington, DC, we will be inviting 30 inspiring individuals from across the country to step up as Vanguards and discuss their role in shaping the future of cities. By creating this Vanguard network, Next American City will be paving the way for our future generation of leaders to connect with one another, offer support and resources and learn real-life lessons from their counterparts.
If we have piqued your interest, we want to hear from you! Tell us about who you are, the work that you do and why we should select you to participate in this conference.
