Here's a press release from the City of Mesa News Room 07-19-2016 at 11:11:00 AM Mayor John Giles elected to US Conference of Mayors Advisory Board |
The U.S. Conference of Mayors (USCM) has elected Mayor John Giles to be a new Advisory Board member for the nonpartisan organization following its 84th Annual meeting in Indianapolis.
Approximately 200 mayors from across the country attended the conference, where the local leaders discussed a broad range of policy issues impacting America's cities and their economic health including community policing, gun violence, immigration, job creation, federal investment in America's cities and public-partnerships that drive innovation and efficiency.
With more than 85% of people in the United States living in our nation's cities and metro areas, mayors are convinced that despite their geographic location, cities large and small are plagued by many of the same challenges. As a result, Conference leadership is working to ensure that issues impacting urban America are infused in federal policy discussions. The Advisory Board functions in an advisory capacity to the Executive Committee on all matters of policy and program. "We welcome Mayor John Giles as an Advisory Board Member. Mayor Giles brings a wealth of experience to the policy discussion on many key issues including public safety and education," USCM CEO and Executive Director Tom Cochran said. "We look forward to his leadership as mayors around the country lead the charge to make cities more efficient and create Main Street jobs." "I am honored to be elected to the US Conference of Mayors Advisory Board," Mayor John Giles said. "The Conference is a great sounding board for ideas and resource for learning best practices in developing policy and programs in Mesa." The U.S. Conference of Mayors is the official nonpartisan organization of cities with populations of 30,000 or more. There are nearly 1400 such cities in the country today, and each city is represented in the Conference by its chief elected official, the mayor.
