Dan Gilmartin is interviewed during the NLC Congressional City Conference in Washington D.C. this week.<\/p><\/div>\n

WASHINGTON, D.C.<\/strong> – Michigan Municipal League CEO and Executive Director Dan Gilmartin will participate in a Congressional Capitol Briefing Wednesday in Washington D.C. and talk about national infrastructure issues and the Flint water crisis.<\/p>\n

Gilmartin will be part of a panel that will inform members of Congress about the most pressing infrastructure issues facing cities today. They also will delve into whether federal policies are keeping pace with local efforts to reevaluate and reconfigure infrastructure for the next\u00a0generation.\u00a0More than 200 members of Congress and congressional staff are expected to attend the event taking place 10 a.m. Wednesday, March 9, 2016, at the Capitol Visitors Center Auditorium. The briefing is part of the National League of Cities annual Congressional City Conference happening this week.<\/p>\n

Through his work with communities,\u00a0Gilmartin is recognized as a national leader in the fields of urban revitalization, placemaking, local government reform, and transportation policy.\u00a0 Model D Media\u00a0has referred to him as \u201can urban thinker with an eye for the small, oft-unnoticed changes that can make \u2018places\u2019 out of streets and buildings.\u201d\u00a0 Dan serves as a member of the Michigan Future, Inc. Leadership Council and on the Placemaking Leadership Council.<\/p>\n

Joining Gilmartin on the panel will be other local experts who will discuss the water crisis in Flint and what it means for federal-state-local relations nation-wide; contrasting state and local perspectives on accountability in the transit funding process; competing public and private interests in the broadband market; and differing federal and local points of view on infrastructure finance.<\/p>\n

Other speakers include Mayor Mark Stodola, of Little Rock, Arkansas; Councilmember Greg Evans, of Eugene Oregon; and Councilmember Andy Huckaba, of Lenexa, Kansas.<\/p>\n

NLC is the nation\u2019s largest and most representative membership and advocacy organization for city officials, comprised of more than 19,000 cities, towns, and villages representing more than 218 million Americans.<\/p>\n
