Regional Council of Mayors


Purpose:


Supported by ULI Minnesota, the nationally recognized Regional Council of Mayors (RCM) represents Minneapolis, Saint Paul and 36 municipalities in the developed and developing suburbs.  The RCM provides a non-partisan platform that strategically engages mayors and land use professionals to support a more connected, more sustainable and more competitive region.


Strategy:

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 in these three short years 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.

What they say...


"I am convinced that the dynamic collaboration among our Regional Council of Mayors is having a meaningful impact on creating a better future together."
