WELCOME

Dear LUCC Members and Guests,

Welcome to the LUCC Annual Leadership Symposium: Driving National Progress through Local Leadership! Each year brings new goals and challenges for America’s large urban counties, which remain at the forefront of developing solutions to meet the needs of their diverse populations and fostering economic growth in their local communities. Roughly 130 million Americans are represented by the leaders of large urban counties, and we recognize the unique challenges that you face.

This symposium will aim to address these challenges by convening representatives from America's largest counties for in-‐depth policy and practice discussions with global and national thought leaders, policy makers, foundations and corporations. Symposium participants will discuss the role of large urban counties in issue areas such as early childhood development, mental health and its impact on county jails, economic prosperity and concentrated disparity, social impact bonds, and transportation and infrastructure financing and funding.

The symposium is made possible by the contributions of our generous sponsors who continue to support our efforts by partnering with us to improve outcomes in America’s counties. Their support is an integral part of what we do at NACo and is much appreciated.

Thank you for participating in this year’s LUCC Innovation Symposium and welcome to Ramsey County!

Sincerely,

CHRIS ABELE AND LUCC VICE CHAIR was first elected Milwaukee County Executive in 2011 in a nonpartisan special election, and a year later was reelected to a full four-‐year term.

In 2014, with the full support and urging of County Executive Abele, the Wisconsin Legislature voted nearly unanimously to create the Milwaukee County Mental Health Board, an independent board of experts to oversee Milwaukee County’s Behavioral Health Hospital. The board is expected to improve policy functions at the hospital and help facilitate progress toward the community-‐based model of care used across the country.
