About this event
This year's overall theme, "Fresh Water, Fresh Ideas," reflects both Milwaukee's reputation as a cutting-edge hub of freshwater research and technology, and the fresh ideas you will pick up from the educational sessions developed by the 2011 Conference Planning Committee to address the challenges facing local government managers around the world.
Join Rebecca Ryan on Tuesday September 20 for her keynote - "Your Next Citizen"!
In a dynamic presentation designed for ICMA, Rebecca will assess the demographic trends reflected in the 2010 U.S. Census, project the directions in which those trends may be heading, and offer practical approaches for an organization wishing to recruit, engage, and retain a diverse, multigenerational workforce and for a community seeking to attract such a citizenry. You will learn about Rebecca’s extensive research on "next cities"--places that have the attributes to become talent magnets--and the "new normal" issues that community leaders must address to build better places to live and work--for the next generation and all generations.
