99 years ago today, 10 municipal leaders from across the country sat down together in Lawrence, Kansas for the first official meeting of the National League of Cities. On this important anniversary, I took some time to reflect on how much has changed and what has remained the same for our incredible organization in these last 100 years.

We Win, They Lose, with Matthew Kroenig | GoodFellows Hoover Institution 8 Aug 2024 Is a regional war across the Middle East about to erupt? And what to make of a Venezuelan regime that doesn’t honor election results? Matthew Kroenig, Vice President and Senior Director of the Atlantic Council’s Scowcroft Center for Strategy and Security and coauthor of the book We Win They Lose: Republican Foreign Policy and the New Cold War, joins Hoover senior fellows John Cochrane and H.R. McMaster to discuss lessons from deterrence (or a lack thereof) past, present, and future. Next, John explains how a market meltdown underscores a fragile world economy, followed by a discussion of two historical milestones: 50 years since Richard Nixon’s resignation (with public trust in government today significantly lower than in Watergate’s heyday); and Herbert Hoover’s 150th birthday (as to his humanitarian pursuits, where would our fellows be without Hoover’s namesake institution?).

Last week the Garrett County Business Development staff travelled down to Annapolis to attend the annual Mountain Maryland PACE (Positive Attitudes Change Everything) Conference. Relationships drive success, and your business development department was present to represent the Garrett County business community with Maryland Officials! Featured speakers included former Senator George C. Edwards and Governor Wes Moore. We deeply appreciate the Maryland officials that took the time to hear Western Maryland's voice. We especially appreciate the Garrett County officials, businesses, organizations and individuals that made the trek down to represent our home! If you'd like to learn email cnorman@garrettcounty.org. About PACE: Each year the events of PACE serve as an important tool in making Maryland’s political leadership aware of the needs and the specific requests of Allegany and Garrett Counties. This effort is vital when it comes time for Senate or House Committee to decide which program to fund or which project to include in the budget. The Reception and Breakfast provide our Delegation with a strong show of local support for issues they are pressing in Annapolis, and the results have been impressive. However, without the support and participation of quality firms and individuals, these events cannot be held. Learn more... https://lnkd.in/erkXSRgz #garrettcountymd #businessdevelopment
