SPECIAL THANKS
to Our Conference Sponsors
Welcome to the
National League of Cities
Congressional City Conference!
Thank you for being here this week. This
important gathering is a forum for us to
stand up together for America’s cities
and towns. We must work together to
ensure Congress and the Administration
understand the direct impact of federal
action at the local level, and your presence
here is a critical part of that effort.
We live in difficult times. Our residents and our
communities face real hardships. We, as leaders, need
to imagine new possibilities for our hometowns, and we
must show federal decision makers how investment in cities
and towns will create jobs and bring about the innovation
needed to help our economy recover.
This year, NLC has established an “Agenda for Economic
Growth.” This agenda identifies key actions the federal
government can take to create jobs and advance
economic prosperity nationwide. As part of this agenda,
we are calling upon Congress and the Administration to
authorize a new federal surface transportation program,
fix the country’s broken immigration system, and protect
federal investments in effective programs, such as the
Community Development Block Grant (CDBG) program.
On Wednesday, March 16, we will hold our City
Lobby Day, as we each make visits to our congressional
delegations and congressional leaders. Our efforts will be
capped off by a special event on Capitol Hill to highlight
that cuts to CDBG will have severe and lasting impacts in
our communities and will only hinder national economic
recovery efforts. I invite you to join me in standing up for
CDBG at this important event.
I also invite you to get the most out of your attendance
at the conference by tapping into all of the good ideas,
expertise, and federal resources available to you here
this week. We have a terrific line up of speakers and
educational workshops designed to send you home with
tangible solutions for your cities, challenges.
Have a great conference and I look forward to a great
year ahead as we stand up together for America’s cities
and towns and the citizens we care about so much!

agendas impede progress. An effective facilitation process
will focus on creating group consensus while building
group cohesion. Learn specific skills and techniques to
draw out and process the group’s input with the purpose of
moving the discussion forward. Facilitation is not hardwired
into peoples DNA; it is a learned skill set. Participate in

are you planning to accommodate all the requests for your
time? How do you plan to respond to your constituents from
the front office to constituent services? From correspondence
to scheduling, explore the best practices in forming a
professional office that executes your vision and provides

Competency: Catalyst
Virginia A, B, C
Are we, as communities, contributing to the eco-health or
demise of America’s landscape? One of the challenges for
modern communities is to create public green space and
adopt a “waste not, want not” commitment to becoming
caretakers for the environmental community, one step at
a time. Individually and collectively we face a critical
decision: to either implement green land use strategies and
create eco-healthy spaces, or continue the use of practices
that contribute to the decline of community eco-systems.
Explore the skills and techniques that will take you from
eco-weak to eco-chic, creating a legacy of healthy green
spaces in your community.

Just when you thought you mastered the media, the

blogs, Twitter, Facebook, and other news outlets are
constantly evolving. Working with social media can
be overwhelming; however, it is an effective means of
targeting constituents, especially younger generations.
Learn the best way to communicate and control your
message to avoid mistakes that can distract from your
position or program. Explore how to create blogs, mediasites, along with social media models that are used in
local government. Return to your community with the latest
information on how social media works and why it will
support you in your efforts at home.

L07: Hiring and Evaluating the CEO: What Councils
and Managers Need to Know
1:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Delaware B
Selecting the manager or administrator for your city, town
or village is arguably the most important decision you will
make as an elected official. When it comes time to hire a
new manager and/or evaluate your current manager the
process can be overly politicized, rushed and mishandled
due to lack of experience. Examine the role and working
conditions of the elected officials and the city manager
during the hiring and evaluation process. Do you know
how to identify the key skills and experience that are
possessed by a qualified manager? Learn the necessary
steps to effectively recruit, interview, and evaluate a
prospective manager. Understanding this process will
place your administration on the path toward good
governance.

government to rethink how we meet our needs
today so that we ensure a desirable future
for following generations. Local government
officials must play their part in reinventing our
institutions to help communities and residents.
We have entered an era where human
generated pressures on the natural world are
unprecedented. Yet, a time of great challenge
is also a time of great opportunity and local
government leaders must be instrumental
in moving toward solutions as the inspire,
change and lead their community.

Maryland Suites A & B
In public organizations leaders at all levels, take risks and
make decisions, where total teamwork and imagination
are the rule not the exception, where diverse teams learn
to adapt, embrace and move on from change, and more
importantly where teams learn to truly grow is found in the
art of thinking…this is the public body of the future. This
is the hard work of governing; learning to work together
and make decisions. Learn how to enhance, expand,
incorporate, and sharpen your abilities as a municipal
leader. Examine how to take risks in a way that will push
your objectives toward success while embracing the team
and the challenges that come with it.

L10: The Six Conversations that Matter: Building
Accountability and Commitment
9:00 a.m – Noon
Delaware Suite A
Conventional wisdom says that we should hold others
accountable, when in fact we should stop holding people
accountable and start believing in people’s capacity
to ‘choose’ accountability. Learn the skills necessary
to change the conversation from patriarchy to chosen
accountability; by doing so you open your community
to new possibilities. Learn how to create a culture where
Page 24
accountability is chosen, and everyone acts and feels as
an “owner” of the community and its efforts. Changing
the architecture of accountability and commitment means
a change in the work, but also the structure, relationships,
roles, and rewards in which the work is done.

L11: Public Engagement: The Vital Leadership Skill
9:00 a.m. – Noon
Delaware B
How do you define civic engagement? A late Senator
said, “Civic engagement is a device whereby public
officials induce, non-public officials to act in a way the
public officials’ desire.” Throughout America, city leaders
are learning that this rather cynical definition no longer
works, if it ever did. From budgets to land use, local
elected officials are facing decisions of a scope they have
never witnessed. Gain a better understanding of what
public engagement really is and develop a framework
to customize a plan for convening your own residents.
Explore the definitions of the ‘what,’ ‘why’ and ‘how’ of
civic engagement in a way that will encourage a positive
civic participation to meet the goals of your community. The
intentional and legitimate engagement of your residents has
never been more important.

that are successful manage change through systematic
calculated thinking and planning and link those plans with
Page 25

Century
1:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Virginia A, B & C
The political and social environment for public leadership
has been dramatically transformed over the last fifty
years. Most of these environmental changes have been
unplanned and largely unanticipated. How does a leader
deal with this ‘brave new world?’ It starts with, ‘How did
we get here?’ Challenge yourself to develop new habits
in your changed climate. Explore a better understanding
of the environment that you are leading in. Gain a better
understanding of the guiding principles and strategies,
tactics and habits needed to lead in this new environment.
Learn the principles necessary to guide your thinking about

1:30 p.m. – 5:00 p.m.
Maryland Suites A & B
‘Cool Cities’ has increasingly become a buzz word among
both community and economic development practitioners.
Are small cities in pursuit of the creative class? The struggles
and successes of larger cities are oftentimes amplified in
smaller communities. Smaller communities bring residents
together through commerce, education, and a sense of
personal identity. Even big cities try to tap the power of
small communities and the value and sense of place that
small cities offer. After nearly two years of research that
includes site visits and work in more than 250 communities
in 10 states, discover the results and best practices that will
resonate with small community leaders. Exciting results that
will make you say, “Why didn’t I think of that?” Learn the
core values that youth and residents seek in a community
as a future place to live, work, and play. Learn trends and
opportunities that can impact the future of your community.

programs so critical to local government economic

Meaningful Education Reform – The Elementary

Congress
11:00 a.m. – 12:30 p.m.
Delaware A
Municipal leaders are increasingly arguing that their cities’
economic development and competitiveness depends upon
the quality of the education their students receive. National
leaders are saying the same. The president in his State of
the Union Address, asked Congress to move forward with
education reform so that we can “out-innovate, out-educate,
and out-build the rest of the world.” Rep. John Kline (RMN), chair of the House Committee on Education and the
Workforce, has said his goal is to ensure that “innovation
and accountability [are] driven at the state and local level
....” Successful reform of the nation’s education system will
require the Administration’s involvement, Congressional
action, and the input of state and local elected officials.
Learn from a panel of experts about how cities and towns
can impact and inform the reform process, and how cities
and towns can work to improve educational outcomes locally.

Financing Home Energy Improvements
10:45 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.
Delaware A
More homeowners are interested in making their homes
energy efficient, yet options are limited for financing
home energy improvements. Innovative local government
financing programs, such as the Property Assessed Clean
Energy (PACE) program, remove many of the barriers
of renewable energy and energy efficiency retrofits that
otherwise exist for property owners. Yet, the Federal
Housing Finance Agency (FHAF) has issued a directive
that effectively halts PACE programs in communities. In this
session hear the latest on the legislative and legal fronts
to allow PACE programs to continue, how one state has
successfully been able to move forward with a modified
PACE program, and other available methods of financing
home energy improvements.

Leveraging Resources – Working Regionally
10:45 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.
Maryland A, B, C
One consequence of the anti-spending sentiment in
Washington is that cities and towns will face more
competition for shrinking federal funds. Local leaders
Page 46
involved with regional organizations that compete for or
redistribute federal funds, such as Metropolitan Planning
Organizations and regional planning and economic
development organizations, will have an advantage in that
competition. This session is for local leaders who want
know how to make sure their hometown is represented at
the regional level; or those who simply want to learn about
strategies to increase cooperation among their municipal
neighbors.

Putting People to Work – Federal Strategies in
Times of Slow Growth
10:45 a.m. – 12:15 p.m.
Virginia A, B, C
Though the “Great Recession” has officially ended, job
growth remains slow and unemployment high. For tens
of millions of Americans, the recession continues, and the
opportunity for employment seems remote. The federal
government has numerous tools available to it that can
help put people back to work. Learn more about these
programs and what Congress and the Administration plan
to do in the coming months and years to put Americans
back to work. A panel of experts will discuss the current
workforce crisis, what it means to have a skills shortage
at a time of high unemployment, how the government can
help retrain individuals so that they can get back to work,
and other solutions – including enhanced use of community
colleges for job training and economic development -- that
a new Congress might consider.

In 2010, the U.S. Supreme Court, federal and state courts
decided several cases of importance to local governments.
Scope of immunity for public officials, state and federal
preemption of local authority, hiring tests, and zoning and

understanding of the consequences for local governments
from notable recent court decisions and the potential for
select pending cases.

Local officials have key roles to play in developing their

Federal government has resources to assist this effort. Learn
how you can provide leadership and what the Federal
government, as well as national organizations, have to
offer, including the new StartUp America Partnership.

Local Initiatives on Immigration
1:45 p.m. – 3:15 p.m.
Virginia A, B, C
Local officials cannot ignore the complex and challenging
issues of our national immigration debate and have not
waited for the federal government to act. Initiatives
such as the U.S. Mexico Border Mayors Association
led by Southwest Mayors, the Partnership for a New
American Economy founded by New York Mayor Michael
Bloomberg and business leaders and NLC’s immigrant
integration project demonstrate how local leaders are
working to ensure that their diverse communities continue to
thrive despite the heated national debate on immigration.
During this session, delegates will learn more about these
initiatives and others that are dealing with immigrant
integration head on.
