Yesterday’s Aim Mayor's Institute session with Mayor Brandon Sakbun and Mayor Stephanie Terry highlighted how they are breaking bureaucratic barriers and reimagining municipal development. Their insights on process mapping, internal coordination, and culture change sparked meaningful conversations on how cities can attract investment, raise wages, and grow population.

Our team at Civitas Strategies greatly appreciated the opportunity to sit alongside these community leaders.
