Regional Council of Mayors Activities

 

RCM’s unique value is its ability to build knowledge and networks that support collective regional awareness and action. It was founded in 2005 and it has broadened its reach, credibility and influence. Its focus is on impact and significance, not power and politics. Its strategies are to partner with ULI Minnesota to:

  • Convene: Bring mayors and cross sector leadership together around issues of regional significance.
  • Educate: Equip Mayors to lead and support learning across sectors.
  • Engage: Support civic outreach strategies.
  • Effect Change: Seek solutions that support a ‘better way’ for collective regional action.

RCM, along with ULI Minnesota, are focused on four priority areas:
