Leadership Memphis is hosting its 4th annual Community Leadership Luncheon. Stephen Goldsmith, the Daniel Paul Professor of Government at Harvard University, and former Mayor of Indianapolis, will share a presentation on government policy and its role in impacting economic development, and offer his advice on how to transition from being a great city to being a successful city.
During his two-term tenure as mayor, Goldsmith was a leading force in the rebirth of downtown Indianapolis. He saw firsthand that urban renewal begins with residents claiming responsibility for the future of their neighborhoods.
Goldsmith earned a national reputation for innovations in government by reducing bureaucracy, taxes and counter-productive regulations all while identifying more than $400 million in savings. He has written several books including Governing by Network: The New Shape of the Public Sector; Putting Faith in Neighborhoods: Making Cities Work through Grassroots Citizenship; The Twenty-First Century City: Resurrecting Urban America and The Entrepreneurial City: A How-To Handbook for Urban Innovators.
The Community Leadership Luncheon is March 4 from 11:30 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at the Holiday Inn – University of Memphis Ballroom, located at 3700 Central Avenue. A lunch buffet will be served from 11:30 a.m. to noon and Goldsmith's presentation will follow from noon to 1:00 p.m.
