Local Host Committee

CATS Seventh Street Station

Our local host committee defines the regional story.

Our annual transit and community development conference weaves together national best practices with the unique strengths, characteristics, and lessons learned at the local level. The local host committee helps this happen by defining the regional story, gathering local leaders and providing insight and context for new projects. The local host committee plans Mobile Workshops and Pre-Conference Events, produces the Welcome Reception, and coordinates a half-day regional session on the last day of the conference.
