6 WELCOME FROM LOUISVILLE METRO GOVERNMENT

Dear Friends, Welcome! As a proud Kentuckian, I’m honored that the Kentucky League of Cities is holding its 2018 Conference & Expo here in Louisville. Your work is so important to the future of the Commonwealth. I hope the conversations you’ll have and the learning you’ll do will help you in the work we all share – serving the citizens of Kentucky. I also hope you’ll find time to enjoy some of the great attractions our city has to offer, like the Slugger Museum, the Muhammad Ali Center, Churchill Downs and the Kentucky Derby Museum, as well as Waterfront Park, some of our distillery experiences (we are the home of Bourbonism), and our great local food, music and arts scenes. Compassion is one of our core city values and helps us provide great hospitality to more than 16 million visitors a year. On behalf of Louisville, please enjoy yourself while you’re here. We hope to send you home with great stories about your time in Louisville, and we hope you’ll come back again. Sincerely,

Greg Fischer Mayor of Louisville

7 PRESIDENT’S WELCOME

Dear Friends, On behalf of the KLC officers, board members, and staff, welcome to the 2018 Kentucky League of Cities Conference & Expo. This year marks our 89th annual conference and expo. It’s more than a meeting. It’s really a chance to share ideas, network and rally for the cities we all love and call home. This year’s conference theme is “Small Changes. Big Impact!” This year, we have some special conference activities. We will again partner with Kentucky Agriculture Commissioner Ryan Quarles and the Kentucky Department of Agriculture’s Hunger Initiative for a community project to help address food insecurity and homelessness. New this year, Kentucky League of Cities Insurance Services (KLCIS) will sponsor a drug litter safety kit packing project. Any city that participates will get kits to take home that city employees can use as they encounter drug litter on the job. Finally, at the KLC Expo booth, you’ll have the opportunity to send a message to some of our most cherished veterans who will be participating in the upcoming Honor Flights. These efforts symbolize the power of working together and how just a few minutes of our time can lead to a big impact for people in our own Kentucky cities. It’s definitely been a busy year for KLC, legislatively and otherwise. And as you know, the upcoming legislative session is going to be just as challenging. I hope each of you will take the opportunity to talk with your legislators about the issues facing our cities. They need to hear from you. On a personal note, I am honored to have been your president for the past year. Many exceptional leaders have come before me, and I am humbled to have had such a wonderful opportunity. KLC is a mission-driven organization that works every day on behalf of Kentucky cities. I appreciate all of your support and want to especially thank the KLC Board of Directors for its vision and cooperative leadership in making important decisions. Louisville and the cities of Jefferson County have many assets and things to do. They have made us feel welcome, and we owe them a big thank you for their hospitality. If I don’t already know you, I hope to meet you this week. I encourage you to learn, network, have fun and enjoy the conference! Sincerely,

Jim Barnes President, Kentucky League of Cities Mayor of Richmond

8 DIRECTOR’S WELCOME

Dear KLC Members, The theme of this year’s conference is: Small Changes. Big Impact! The cities here in Louisville and Jefferson County certainly are great examples of our theme. They are constantly reinventing neighborhoods, attracting businesses and using creative solutions to improve their services and meet the needs of current and future residents. We see the conference as a time to celebrate, and there’s a lot to celebrate this year. We will recognize many of you for your training accomplishments and showcase a number of your projects in panels and workshops. KLC’s programs and services are thriving, and we continue to take a strong stand on behalf of cities in Frankfort. Our KLC staff loves working for you and is always interested in your feedback. And speaking of staff, Robin Cooper, Joe O’Nan, Marty Nemes and Linda Wickliffe will all retire from KLC this year. They have definitely made a big impact on KLC and on many of your cities with their expertise and insights. I hope you’ll let them know that they’ll be missed. The conference is also a new year of sorts for KLC as we welcome new officers and board members. We’ve had a very good year under the unwavering and decisive leadership of Richmond Mayor Jim Barnes. He’s been actively and strategically involved in all aspects of our success. Mayor Barnes, our officers and Board of Directors are enthusiastic and engaged representatives for you. Lastly, thank you to Louisville and to all of our Jefferson County cities for the hospitality you’ve already shown us. It’s going to be a great KLC Conference & Expo. Sincerely,

Jonathan Steiner Executive Director/CEO Kentucky League of Cities
