Southern Nevada Strong, the community’s regional planning effort administered by the Regional Transportation Commission of Southern Nevada, will hold its annual summit on Wednesday, Dec. 13. The summit, originally scheduled for Oct. 2, was postponed after the Oct. 1 Route 91 Harvest Festival tragedy.
This year’s summit theme is “SNS-Working Regionally” and will include a comprehensive review of SNS partner successes over the last year and discussions about working on a regional level to achieve SNS goals.
Committed to leveraging best practices and learning from other metropolitan areas, the RTC will welcome Oklahoma City Mayor Mick Cornett as the SNS summit’s keynote speaker. Known as a problem solver who gets things done, Cornett is considered one of the most honored mayors in U.S. history. Rated the No. 2 mayor worldwide by an international panel, Newsweek magazine called Cornett one of the “five most innovative mayors in the United States” and Politico placed him on the publication’s 50 list of “thinkers, doers and visionaries transforming American politics in 2015.”
Cornett is expected to share personal perspectives and experiences from his collaborative work advancing major infrastructure projects and championing important causes in Oklahoma City.
