This presentation is a special forum with Cleveland Councilman Matt Zone, the 2017 President of the National League of Cities. From the front lines, Mr. Zone discusses the challenges facing America’s cities, and the local solutions that are moving America forward. From serving as a former President of the Northeast Ohio City Council Association, to his current role leading the National League of Cities, Councilman Zone is uniquely qualified to help us connect the dots between the myriad of forces impacting our cities today and how local leadership — combined strong federal partnerships — will help each of our cities adapt and thrive.
