3. Discuss NLC Conference that was held in San Antonio-
Valerie Villarreal and Amanda Stukenberg discussed the
NLC Conference which was held in San Antonio, Texas.
Valerie Villarreal discussed that the underlying message that
•
she got out of the conference was for municipal leaders to
not only"care"what they do but to."believe" in what they do.
Valerie Villarreal also mentioned that partnerships were
discussed at length and that collaborative partners need not
lose their identity but the partnership should look like a
"recognizable mosaic". Amanda Stukenberg advised that she
noticed that there were many executive and elected leaders
who attended the conference and that there was very few
youth attendees. Amanda Stukenberg advised that there was
so many ways that other cities are implementing philosophies
and programs that are geared to assist youth and families in
their communities. Amanda Stukenberg also mentioned that
it was a great place to network and learn how other cities are
implementing similar to the Children, Youth and Family type
platforms.
