MML Convention Program

Connecting the Dots

It is well past time to challenge the limited conventional indicators of a place’s overall success, which only look at economy. The League’s approach to what thriving communities are explores success holistically, bridging the gap between an individual’s well-being and lived experience within a place. This is our vision of Community Wealth Building in practice. The League has always defined community wealth building as strategies that create resilient and adaptable systems to address social and economic needs. The familiar pillars of community wealth building are the focus areas of pursuing a thriving community. A thriving community embodies connection, accessibility, and opportunity for its residents. It fosters a mindset of inspiration and optimism among leaders, prioritizing trust and belonging in everyday municipal decisions. This is how we nurture inclusive, supporting communities where every member feels proud of where they live.
