Purpose
"If you’re writing a medium or long section of text, break it up with more than one paragraph for better readability.”
- SOMEONE ONCE SAID
Our purpose
Considering the global challenges, we encountered in 2022, our cities' inherent growth demands that we adopt a broader perspective. These changes have also accentuated the inequalities prevalent worldwide. We should be motivated to envision a reimagined future through innovation, aiming to reconstruct our cities to be inclusive for all.
For the transformation of our cities, it's imperative to acknowledge a new path forward, unlocking new opportunities and introducing a fresh way of life. While "Building Our Future City" serves as the theme, our primary focus remains firmly rooted in the well-being of families across every community.

The World Has Changed
Mayor Ginther of Columbus, OH and Mayor Suarez of Miami, FL at the USCM summer event.
The world has undergone tremendous changes over the past few years. We've had to swiftly adapt and evolve, transitioning to virtual interactions, facing the unexpected, and electing a new president of the United States amid a global pandemic.
Our perspectives on medicine have shifted, embracing telehealth as a convenient and beneficial service. Simultaneously, we've witnessed Russia's invasion of Ukraine, igniting a tragic war that resulted in the loss of thousands of innocent lives. This period has been a rollercoaster ride, marked by significant milestones like appointing the first black woman to the Supreme Court and the widespread adoption of cryptocurrencies. However, it has also brought troubling challenges like surging gas prices and notable inflation.
Hence, the U.S. Mayoral Roundtable was established to accelerate collaboration among mayors, with a primary focus on recovery, rebuilding, and collective progress moving forward!
