The United States Conference of Mayors | June 19 – 22
"I was proud to represent West Palm Beach at the 93rd U.S. Conference of Mayors Annual Meeting in Tampa, FL. The annual meeting is an opportunity for a bipartisan group of nearly 200 Mayors from across the country to collaborate to find real solutions to the challenges facing our cities. We exchanged new and innovative ideas, shared best practices, and developed priorities that help strengthen cities across the nation. Something this conference reaffirmed is that in West Palm Beach, we are on the right track. It’s a reminder that while we govern locally, our voices matter nationally — and I’m proud the City of West Palm Beach has a voice in that process." — Mayor Keith A. James
