Mayor Abramson has become good friends with Mayor Nutter over the past few months while they both have been involved with the Obama Administration’s meetings with mayors from major cities. Mayor Nutter’s visit is an opportunity for Louisville leaders to understand how other cities are handling the availability of federal stimulus funds. Nutter is also leading Philadelphia through a major budget crisis and is focusing on environmental initiatives despite the challenges the city is facing.
Presented by the Leadership Louisville Center in partnership with the Mayor Abramson, the Mayors’ Leadership Luncheon invites successful mayors from across the country to provide insights on community development initiatives of interest to the Louisville community. Recent guest have included the Mayors of Denver, Nashville and Kansas City.
Last year's Mayors' Leadership Luncheon was attended by 700 community leaders representing 250 companies and included many Kentucky mayors and government officials.
