Enclosed with this letter is some information about the conference,together with a conference registration form and a housing registration form. Information and the registration form for the family program is also enclosed. Similar information was in the March issue of Minnesota Cities and will be contained in the April issue as well. If those from your city who are planning on attending have not registered,please encourage them to register now. And, if no one from your city is planning on attending, I hope my letter will highlight enough of the important events which are being planned so that officials in your city will consider attending. 0 Please put the topic of attending the League's annual conference on the agenda of your next council meeting,if your city has not already discussed attending this event. There are three purposes for the annual conference: to learn by attending the general sessions and workshops, to learn by interaction with other city officials,and to inspire and re-energize city officials. As you review the enclosed preliminary program,I think you will agree with me that the conference planning committee again did an outstanding job in designing many learning opportunities on important topics. Many of these sessions apply to cities of all sizes,but, in addition to sessions especially focused on the needs of Small Cities,there will be sessions designed for Metro Cities and Greater Minnesota Cities as well. No matter what the size of your city or where it is located,there will be several sessions during which your city officials can learn how to better perform many of their responsibilities. In the exhibit hall, called"Cities Marketplace"about one hundred and fifty providers of goods and services to cities will display what they have to offer. This is a great place to learn about the newest innovations in providing services to citizens and in improving city government. The Leadership Institute for Elected City Officials will continue,with sessions on Conflict • Resolution and The Basics for Elected Officials. III AN EQUAL OPPORTUNITY/AFFIRMATIVE ACTION EMPLOYER
