Convention 91 Highlight: Drugs, Dogs & Drainage
In this June 21 general session at Convention 91, League General Counsel and Legislative Director John Wilkerson led a candid discussion with three mayors who know a thing or two about the dreaded three Ds. Keo Mayor Stephanie White, Eudora Mayor Tomeka Butler and Elaine Mayor Lisa Hicks-Gilbert joined Wilkerson for an inspiring and heartwarming conversation about mayoral life and the lessons they’ve learned along the way.
NWA Housing Supply & Affordability Summit
Co-hosted by the Arkansas Municipal League, the City of Cave Springs and Groundwork, the NWA Housing Supply & Affordability Summit will focus on the four L’s affecting housing supply and affordability in NWA: land, laws, lending and labor.
Join us for a meaningful discussion to identify obstacles and strengths related to housing affordability, while setting aside politics to focus on collaborative solutions. A detailed agenda with specific discussion times will be distributed for those who cannot commit for the entire day.
