Joseph Burgess, President and CEO of Veolia North America, announced that the Meet the Mayors program, now in its fifth year, will include an online database of best practices in addition to its existing catalog of over 600 mayoral video clips. Over 60 mayors filmed a one-to-two minute segment in Chicago describing a best practice in their city and over 40 mayors have submitted descriptions online at usmayors.org/bestpractice

"By focusing on best practices we're creating a forum and a wealth of information that can be shared not only among yourselves but among others seeking information about your city on the worldwide web," said Burgess.

Veolia North America sponsors the Meet the Mayors program along with their sister companies Connex, Dalkia and Onyx.

All video clips and best practices are available online at usmayors.org.
