URBAN CONCEPTS RECENT ACTIVITY:
NLC’s Leadership Academy on Local Economic
Competitiveness in a Global Era

Tuesday, April 19 – Thursday, April 21, 2011 Seattle, Washington

The National League of Cities (NLC), together with the Trade
Development Alliance of Greater Seattle (TDA), will host a new
Leadership Academy on Local Economic Competitiveness in a Global
Era.

The Academy will bring together teams of city elected officials, staff,
and key stakeholders with experts from all levels of government,
academic, and business sectors to provide participants with the tools
and knowledge they need to facilitate global economic linkages within
the context of their own community.

As part of the event, NLC is also partnering with the U.S. Departments
of Commerce and Treasury to host a delegation of approximately 90
Chinese leaders, including mayors and business executives from
Chongqing, Shanghai, Shenzhen, Xian, Taizhou (in Jiangsu province)
and Weifang (in Shandong province).


U.S. local officials will have the opportunity, in a session facilitated by
the Department of Commerce, to directly engage with nearly 20 foreign
businesses seeking job-creating investment opportunities in U.S.
cities. Industries represented will include high-tech R&D,
pharmaceuticals, aviation and space, auto manufacturing, high-speed
transport/expressways and several others to-be-determined
