New & Future City Managers Seminar 2015

Thank you to the attendees and the handful of senior mentors who took part in this past weekend’s New & Future City Managers Seminar!

The annual CCMF New & Future City Managers Seminar is an excellent opportunity for any new City Manager or aspiring City Manager to receive hands-on mentoring from seasoned City Managers. The weekend workshop is an intensive time of collaboration, discovery, and resource-sharing.
