- Conference focuses on team building and leadership
- The 24 participants represent more than 5 million U.S. residents
Salem, Ore. – Salem Mayor-elect Julie Hoy joined newly elected mayors from across the nation this week at the Bloomberg Center for Cities at Harvard University’s Program for New Mayors: First 100 Days. Mayor-elect Julie Hoy’s participation was sponsored entirely by Bloomberg Philanthropies.
The 24 participants collectively represent more than 5 million U.S. residents.
“I am proud to represent our community–alongside other newly-elected U.S. mayors from across the country– at the Bloomberg Center for Cities at Harvard Program for New Mayors: First 100 Days,” Hoy said. “Through this convening and beyond, our city will benefit from the world-class tools and strategies provided by leading faculty and management experts to build an effective city hall team and deliver for residents in ways that move our community–and our city—forward.”
The program is a collaboration with Bloomberg Philanthropies, the U.S. Conference of Mayors, and the Institute of Politics at Harvard Kennedy School. Designed to empower them during their critical transitions and first 100 days in office, the Program for new Mayors equips participants with strategic insights to sharpen their leadership and management skills.
After the two-day convening, the program continues through April in virtual sessions designed to help mayors build and lead effective teams, foster collaboration across departments and sectors, and establish a strong foundation for their administrations during the critical early days in office.
