A number of the Black mayors of America will be flooding the streets of Atlanta for the 10th Annual Conference of the African American Mayors Association (AAMA).
The conference will take place between Apr. 24 and Apr. 27 at the luxurious Omni Hotel at Centennial Park. Atlanta’s Mayor Andre Dickens will host a slew of attendees, including New York City’s Eric Adams, Los Angeles’ Karen Bass, as well as special guest and former gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams.
The goal of the conference is to touch on key topics facing different cities and for the leaders to share policies that will shape the future of their cities .
During the festivities, Montgomery’s Steven Reed will be named the president of the National African American Mayors Association (AAMA) — the only organization that exclusively represents African American mayors in the country. Reed’s chief of staff, Chip Hill, celebrated the move on Twitter.
“A HUGE development for our region and the entire state of Alabama. Montgomery, Alabama Mayor Steven Reed to be named National President of the African American Mayors Association this week,” he wrote.
