The Honorable Mayor Kevin Johnson 915 I Street 5th Floor, Mail Code 09100 Sacramento, CA 95814

Dear Mayor Johnson:

In 2011, the National Conference of Black Mayors, Inc. (NCBM) made great strides toward bridging the gap between local communities and government. NCBM had the honor of meeting with President Barack Obama, Cabinet members, and Administration officials at the White House to discuss current issues pertinent to our member mayor cities with the focus being tangible actions that will yield the stability and sustainability of local communities.

This year NCBM will celebrate 38 years of existence. NCBM have a legacy that has withstood the trials and tribulations that institutions such as ours have faced over the past three decades. Yet here we stand, laser focused with the will to continue in our mission to empower our mayors as they work to empower their communities. Today, NCBM represent over 658 African-American mayors, who collectively, serve more than 50 million people in their perspective cities.

There is power in numbers. Therefore, we implore you to not only pay your membership dues, but to become actively involved in your organization by participating in your state chapters and NCBM organized events such as the 38 th Annual Convention, Leadership Institute for Mayors, policy summits, and various educational forums.

It is the aim of NCBM in 2012 to strengthen and empower our state chapters. The National office is only as strong as the state chapters that we collectively represent. The strength of our state chapters contributes to the collective strength of NCBM. Mayors are the key to the cities. Together we can work to provide creative and innovative avenues to fortify municipal development through the various resources and technical assistance provided by NCBM.

NCBM was created for African American mayors to serve one another and serve their perspective communities. In order to carry on that mission you must activate your 2012 membership. It is said that "Change begins at home". Let make a change in 2012 and have 100% membership participation. By filling out the enclosed mayor profile data form and returning it along with your annual membership dues will assist in achieving the goal.

It is our privilege and honor to serve as the President and Executive Director of the National Conference of Black Mayors. We look forward to sharing our enthusiasm in embracing the mandate in fulfilling the ideals of this extraordinary Organization.

Yours in peace and progress,

Mayor Robert L. Bowser President, NCI3M

Vanessa R. Williams Executive Director

FACT SHEET Who We Are: The National Conference of Black Mayors, Inc. (NCBM) was founded in 1974. Representing over 650 African American mayors nationwide, we are a private, nonpolitical, nonpartisan, nonprofit, 501(c) 3 tax-exempt organization, with a membership that allows us to advocate for and impact in excess of 20 million people. Our mission is to enhance the executive management capacity of our members for the purpose of governing viable municipalities. As such, we provide technical and management assistance to our members, as well as serve as a clearinghouse on information pertinent to municipal development.

Headquartered in the great state of Georgia, the majority of NCBM's membership is located in the Southeast. As a nonprofit, nonpolitical, nonpartisan organization, educational forums form the foundation of our services to our members, which allow us a more effective means to articulate our membership's concerns on national policy issues.

As we enthusiastically continue to serve as a center of influence, we humbly acknowledge the fact that we are in a unique position to not only strengthen the individual cities of our mayoral membership, but all cities throughout the United States by leading by example and blazing new trails in municipal growth and development.

Major Activities: Each year, NCBM conducts a leadership institute for our mayors, which is designed to sharpen their skills and impart innovative techniques for managing both financial and human resources. We have administered numerous federal grants and generated millions of dollars in public works projects for our member cities and towns. In 1982, we established an international thrust, which has resulted in exchanges with mayors in China, South and Central America, Africa and the Caribbean.

Annual Convention: Our annual convention attracts the majority of our membership, municipal staffs, other elected officials, educators, business people and foreign dignitaries. Over the course of the four-day meeting, approximately 2,000 people attend the convention, giving us a total impact that surpasses 20 million people.

State Chapters: Due to the enormous growth of the organization over the past 37 years, NCBM has established state chapters through which the delivery of technical assistance is facilitated. Fifteen state chapters of NCBM provide the membership with a local vehicle for addressing issues of importance to the mayors. The state chapters meet quarterly and bi-annually.

Committees/Task Forces: In addition to ten (10) Standing Committees, NCBM maintains three (3) active task forces/committees that serve in advisory capacities - the Ad Hoc Committee on Seat Belt Safety, the NCBM/ DOE Task Force, and the Mayors Task Force on Black and Minority Health. The standing committees are:

The committees consider national public policy issues and articulate the mayors concerns to Congress, federal departments and industry leaders. Plans call for the establishment of a Business Council, comprised of corporate executives, who will have direct access to NCBM's membership.
