State municipal associations (the statewide organization representing mayors and city councilmembers) can be ideal partners for statewide afterschool networks. Participants in this session will learn from networks that have hosted a statewide mayoral summit in coordination with the municipal association and explore how these partnerships emerged, ways the municipal associations supported intensive outreach efforts to recruit city leaders, and potential future opportunities to work with municipal officials on the impact of afterschool and the role city government can play to support citywide afterschool systems.
