What City Officials Are Saying:

"The NLC Corporate Partners Program provides a unique opportunity for city officials like myself to meet with America?s corporate leaders and hear from a corporate perspective about the cutting edge issues affecting the American economy and what that may mean to my city."
          ~  Mayor Kathleen Novak, Northglenn, CO  (pop: 31,757)

"Strengthening the ties between the public and private sectors through a program like the NLC Corporate Partners Program will not only benefit NLC as an institution, but it will benefit my city as well.  Through interaction with corporate leaders, I can learn more about corporate best practices and how to apply these practices to the management of my own city."
