I first attended the New Partners for Smart Growth Conference in San Diego in 2012. I was impressed by the multidisciplinary nature of the conference, its wide selection of sessions spanning 15 different topic areas, and the great networking opportunities. I am excited that this nationally renowned smart growth conference will be held in Kansas City in 2013. I believe it will provide local communities the opportunity to learn new cutting-edge smart growth techniques, tool and strategies that will help our region build safe, healthy, equitable and livable communities.

Words can’t fully express my sincere appreciation for being included at the Smart Growth conference this past week. The personal growth and opportunity to learn and be a part of such an important effort were profound and I look forward to sharing my observations and experiences, as well as those of my extended group, with the BHC team. The quality of the presenters and professionals attending were inspirational and helped me to better understand what’s possible within my community. I am looking forward to Kansas City!
