In 2025, our key goals included:

• To ensure that mayors’ voices are heard, from Main Street to State Street, using the strength of the Mayor’s Megaphone to advocate in Trenton for the communities we represent.
• Strengthened the organization internally through new subcommittees and renewed existing committees with defined areas of focus to address key responsibilities more effectively, streamline processes, better identify legislative priorities, and improve support for our members.
• Introduced the new Policy to Practice Series to provide mayors with practical tools and resources. Through a variety of focused sessions that offered valuable insights from industry experts and mayors themselves, our membership connected directly with state agencies and policy professionals to better understand new requirements, anticipate potential challenges, and identify solutions they could implement in their own municipalities.
• Expanded programming, with six statewide events attended by hundreds of participants.
