Using the Voice of Mayors to Advance North Carolina
About Us
The North Carolina Metropolitan Mayors Coalition is a nonpartisan, mayor-driven organization representing the state’s large and mid-sized cities.
Metropolitan areas across North Carolina have been the driving force in our state’s rapid development, and our mayors are uniquely positioned to support and advocate for these economic hubs. Since 2001, the North Carolina Metropolitan Mayors Coalitions has built partnerships and acted strategically to be at forefront of many key urban issues, such as job creation, protecting local revenues, investing in public infrastructure, and keeping our cities safe.
Finding strength in diversity and bound together by our common interests, the Metro Mayors Coalition knows that together, we are stronger.
Our Why—Cities lead the way
Metropolitan areas across North Carolina are driving the economic success of the entire state–both urban and rural. Cities have unique needs that are not being adequately addressed. As an organization, we make those needs known. Regional coordination is essential to our state’s success. The Metro Mayors Coalition brings together our large and mid-sized cities to find solutions.
Our How—Mayors making a difference
Mayors are uniquely recognized as advocates for urban interests. Thus, they are uniquely positioned to advocate on key issues. We build relationships among local, state and federal leaders to work for common interests. We identify the pressing need in metropolitan areas to policy makers, and we are nimble and able to act quickly on emerging issues.
Our What—Practices, priorities and partnerships
The NC Metro Mayors Coalition is laser focused on the promoting the key role cities play in the state’s economy, and earning the support our economic hubs deserve. Through its partnership with the N.C. League of Municipalities, the Coalition’s voice is louder and our impact is greater. By bringing key leaders together, we share best practices and ensure that all of our metropolitan areas have the tools to thrive.
