We help local leaders create opportunities for their communities through capacity building, technical assistance, and advocacy. We focus on economic and community development, transit and infrastructure, and workforce development. Oriented towards action, we equip local leaders to create national change from the ground up.

Our Advisory Council events are a time when we convene our special network of mayors, practitioners, business executives, labor leaders, funders, investors, and subject matter experts from around the country to exchange ideas, lift up promising practices, and generate new ideas to increase economic mobility and opportunity for our residents.
