Task Forces, Alliances, Councils and Forums
A Task Force is created by the President of the Conference to address individual issues requiring the immediate attention of a select group of mayors. Task Force recommendations are submitted to the organization as a whole and generally serve as the basis for Conference policy positions. A Task Force is not intended to serve as a permanent body within the organization. The President, Vice President, and Second Vice President serve ex-officio on all Task Forces.
