Please join our upcoming City Managers Department Roundtable on March 25, at 9:00 a.m. This is a great opportunity to discuss pressing issues, ask questions and share your insight with other City Managers and Assistant City Managers.

Discussion topics include, but are not limited to:

• Navigating Today’s Biggest Challenges: How are city managers showing up for their communities—and what’s keeping you up at night?
• Leading Through Complexity: Managing council expectations, public pressures, and evolving community needs.
• Looking Ahead: Top priorities and policy issues shaping California cities in 2026
• Member-Driven Discussion: Additional topics raised by participants.

Moderated by: Chris Freeland, City Manager, Indian Wells and President-Elect, City Managers Department

Roundtable Discussions are available as an exclusive member benefit and are open to Cal Cities member cities only. Discussions are member driven and will not be recorded.
