Highlights from the 2016 Mayor’s Neighborhood Conference
The 2016 conference was one of the best yet. Participants were more representative of the City’s diverse population. Over 30 members of Madison’s Hispanic community were present, as were residents of African American, Hmong, and other backgrounds. There were also individuals who made the trip from neighboring communities and from as far as Green Bay. The 287 people in attendance shared a wealth of ideas and experience to create new possibilities for Madison’s neighborhoods.
The daylong event featured:
- Representation of 54 neighborhood associations and 38 nonprofit or community organizations
- 12 workshops and 22 neighborhood conversations
- Sessions on how Madison’s housing and transportation needs are changing
- Inspiring and data filled keynote presentation by New York City Parks Commissioner Mitchell Silver
