Thanks to Dan Fowler for recommending Bruce Katz and JNowak’s The New Localism. With so much uncertainty across government of all sizes right now, this book quickly aged into a classic. (Plus it discusses the great work of Maria Meyers from the UMKC Innovation Center!)

A huge thank-you to our Co-Chairs — Utah Governor Cox, City of Cleveland Mayor Justin M. Bibb, City of Atlanta, GA Mayor Andre Dickens & Susan E. Thomas (who leads the Fifth Third Bank Community Development Corp) — for their leadership & to AFA’s Task Force co-creators Bruce Katz, Benjamin Preis
