Join your fellow Rotarians and guests at noon on January 28 for a presentation by fellow Rotarian and Mayor of Rochester Kim Norton as she presents "Rochester … Moving Forward Together." The Mayor's presentation will provide an overview of the State of the City focusing on sustainability, economic recovery, policing, community engagement, and creating an inclusive and welcoming community.
Kim became Rochester's Mayor a little more than two years ago. Prior to her election as Mayor, Kim won a Bush Fellowship which allowed her to complete a master’s degree at the University of Minnesota’s Humphrey School of Public Affairs and experiential learning focused on leadership and energy policy. This work encouraged her to investigate communities noted for their sustainability and livability.
