Ron P. Davis, Executive Vice President and General Manager of USFilter Operating Services, encouraged mayors to film a video clip for the Meet the Mayors program, an initiative sponsored by USFilter. During the 70th Annual Meeting, nearly 80 mayors took the opportunity to record a 1-minute clip with the theme "How does my city reflect the American spirit." The clips are posted to the popular Meet the Mayors section of usmayors.org, the Conference web site. "This is where people from around the world and your community go to see what you want to do and what your vision is for your city," said Davis.

Since the program's inception in 2000, mayors have recorded nearly 300 video clips with themes ranging from city competitiveness to 9-11. To visit the Meet the Mayors section of usmayors.org, point your browser to usmayors.org/meet_mayors.
