We are looking forward to seeing our members in person one week from today at the upcoming CGMC Summer Conference, which will be held July 29-30 at Arrowwood Resort & Conference Center in Alexandria. We are still accepting registrations at greatermncities.org/product/2021-summer-conference-registration/.
The conference agenda includes speakers, presentations and panel discussions featuring state leaders, key legislators and policy experts on an array of important topics such as:
- A keynote lunch featuring Gov. Tim Walz
- Lessons learned from the COVID-19 pandemic and how they can help make your city even stronger
- Plans for possible changes to the Local Government Aid formula
- How bills and budget plans passed in the 2021 legislative sessions could impact your community
- Tips on how to better communicate and find common ground with your constituents and fellow city leaders despite the rise in polarization
- Creative ideas on ways to improve your local parks & trails and capitalize on the recent increase in visitors
The conference also marks the return of our annual awards dinner celebrating legislators and city leaders who had a strong positive impact on Greater Minnesota during the past year. And, of course, it provides opportunities to see old friends and make new ones — in person instead of on a screen!
