Power Move: Bold Leadership, Smart Innovation, Future Cities
|
At the U.S. Roundtable, we believe that real change happens when bold leaders challenge the status quo. Our Power Move initiative is about action—mobilizing champion mayors, technology innovators, and strategic partners to transform cities through innovation, digital equity, and sustainable impact. We work alongside mayors who refuse to accept limitations, reimagining what’s possible and rebuilding communities with cutting-edge solutions. From AI-driven public safety to next-generation infrastructure and smart city frameworks, we integrate technology into governance in a way that empowers people, strengthens communities, and modernizes city services. Our approach is clear: we don’t just consult—we lead, implement, and drive results that matter.

Power Moves are bold, intentional, and transformative. They happen when leaders take decisive action, when public and private sectors align, and when technology becomes a tool for inclusion rather than division. Through strategic partnerships and innovative policies, we help cities navigate complex challenges, enhance operational efficiencies, and create forward-thinking solutions that serve all residents. Whether it’s expanding broadband access, deploying AI for smarter governance, or developing green technologies for sustainable urban growth, the U.S. Roundtable is making power moves that redefine the future of cities.

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!
