Friends and Supporters,
The National Conference of Black Mayors will convene its 36th Annual Convention under the moniker, “Able Leaders, Stable Cities: Resolving Our Communities’ Challenges.” The convention will be hosted May 12-16, 2010 by the Honorable Mayor Mark Mallory and the City of Cincinnati, Ohio.
I invite you to participate in this year’s convention as a corporate sponsor of our organization. You and your corporation form a cardinal element of the equation set forth in this year’s convention theme, for it will take the knowledge and resources of leaders in the business community to enhance the ability of local government and the stability of local communities.
The National Conference of Black Mayors represents approximately 650 mayors across the country who serve municipalities ranging from small rural towns to large urban metropolitan epicenters. Collectively, NCBM membership represents more than 50 million citizens.
Our convention gathers the NCBM membership, along with other elected officials on various levels of government, to provide annual training and capacity-building solutions presented by leaders in both the public and private sector.
Through convention event sponsorship or in-kind donations, your corporation will be offered the unique opportunity to be incorporated into this convention’s agenda. Please review the 2010 NCBM Annual Convention Sponsor Brochure for details on the specific opportunities for each of the various levels of convention sponsorship available to your corporation.
The National Conference of Black Mayors looks forward to partnering with you to ensure this year’s annual convention is an overwhelming success. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to contact the NCBM National Office at (404) 765-6444. I hope to see you in Cincinnati!
Vanessa R. Williams Executive Director The National Conference of Black Mayors
