Mayors are the super heroes we have elected to lead the creation of thriving communities! They are our best hope to lead the evolution of our townscapes, cityscapes and the services they provide in sustaining the highest quality of living for the 80% of us who choose urban dwelling.
A mayor’s leadership role is multi-faceted, blending CEO, Steward, Visionary, Mentor, Spokesperson, Authority and Head Coach.
