As part of its 100th anniversary, the nonpartisan National League of Cities (NLC) hosted a panel discussion on what cities were experiencing during the early part of the last century, what led to the creation of a national organization for local governments, and how the organization went on to shape policy at the national level over the decades that followed.
In 1924, the National League of Cities was founded at the University of Kansas to serve municipal governments across the nation. In the century since, cities have transformed dramatically. With a wave of federal funding available for investments in everything from infrastructure to resilience and emerging technologies like Artificial Intelligence, transformation shows no sign of slowing down.
Join us to hear from current and former local leaders on the impact of NLC, the history of local government, and what the future holds.
