As municipalities throughout the country have adapted to the extraordinary circumstances of the pandemic, elected and appointed officials have been faced with tough decisions and unique opportunities to create programs that best meet the needs of residents. The actions adopted in trying times have changed the way local government works and will leave an impact on operations for years to come. From distance work and health department strain to philanthropic efforts and emotional support for those struggling, the new normal of local government will be discussed in sessions and with exhibitors in the exhibit hall. With the 106th League Conference, we will continue a long tradition within the safest and most effective parameters.
