After the Votes are Counted, What's Next for America's Cities?
Nearly two out of every three Americans live in urban areas. Cities are responsible for 75% of the US GDP. Mayors are among our most innovative and creative political leaders. And yet, our cities will undoubtedly be impacted by the 2016 Election.
The Boston University Initiative on Cities invites you to After the Votes are Counted, What's Next for Cities? with presentations and a panel discussion featuring Jerry Abramson, White House Director of Intergovernmental Affairs and Deputy Assistant to President Barack Obama; Courtney Snowden, Deputy Mayor of Greater Economic Opportunity for the District of Columbia; and members of the Boston University Initiative on Cities Menino Survey of Mayors research team.
How has the Obama administration worked with and supported cities? How will mayors' relationship with the White House change with the start of a new administration? And what do mayors want most from the incoming President? Join us to discuss these questions and more.
Cocktail reception begins at 5:30pm. This event is free to attend, but registration is required.
