WHAT HAPPENED: The League has
opened registration for this year's CityVision, the biggest and best annual conference for municipal professionals and local elected officials from all corners of the Tar Heel state. This year, we're going to beautiful, riverside Wilmington.
WHAT IT MEANS: We'll spend two days together learning from engaging speakers, educational sessions and one-on-one time that will give you the tools you need to face challenges in your town or city. A more in-depth article with details follows in this bulletin.
THE SKINNY: CityVision is the best expression of League-member advantages and fellowship, showing the diversity of our 540-plus municipalities while also circling the commonalities and pride that make us the cities and towns we are. Connect. Engage. Learn. Network.
Expect two days of engaging speakers, educational sessions and one-on-one time that will give you the tools you need to face challenges in your town or city. This year, CityVision will include ethics training for elected officials. This training meets the criteria for ethics training as state law requires. Other educational sessions will focus on employment law, water & wastewater, cyber security, economic development and so much more.
CityVision's newest addition will be a Speed Networking session inside the Riverside Expo exhibit hall. We invite you to take advantage of this one-on-one time with sponsors and exhibitors on May 6. The League’s Shield Services risk control staff will host Law Enforcement Firearm Training preview sessions. These 30-minute sessions will use state-of-the-art technology that trains police officers how to appropriately respond and de-escalate when confronted with an active shooter, combative member of the community, or other, similar scenarios.
