Local governments faced unprecedented challenges, from limited resources and finite federal support to significant technological hurdles, forcing city and county managers to adapt quickly to manage the crisis effectively.
In this insightful webinar, Zencity, an ICMA Strategic Partner, brings together city leaders from Peachtree Corners, Georgia, Cedar Rapids, Iowa, and Winthrop, Massachusetts, to share their experiences and best practices for engaging with residents during the pandemic. These leaders will discuss the unique challenges their communities faced and the strategies they implemented to maintain communication, foster trust, and ensure the well-being of their residents.
