Local Leadership in a Global Economy

Economic development is the process of building strong, adaptive economies. Despite the diversity of approaches and strategies to achieve this goal in cities across the country, leadership is consistently identified as a critical factor in effective economic development. Although leadership can come from many places within the community, local elected officials are particularly well-positioned to take on this role. At the economic development opening session, at the 2011 Congress of Cities, mayors discussed what local economic development means to them, what their roles have been and what challenges they face. Moderator: William Fulton, Mayor, Ventura, Calif.; Governing Magazine's Economic Development Columnist Speakers: Ralph Becker, Mayor, Salt Lake City, Utah Rick Baker, former Mayor, St. Petersburg, Florida Carl Brewer, Mayor, Wichita, Kansas
