The Regional Neighborhood Network Coalition (RNNC) is an organization of 19 cities

in 5 states (Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky, Ohio and Tennessee) that has sponsored a conference for and about neighborhoods since 1987. The conference is run by neighborhood people for neighborhood people, giving attendees the tools to take back to their neighborhoods and continue to improve them. Louisville is host for the 2007 RNNC.

Louisville Mayor Jerry Abramson Welcomes You!
I would like to invite you to attend the 21st Annual Regional Neighborhood Network Conference (RNNC) held in Louisville, Kentucky on September 27 - 29, 2007.

This annual conference creates a special synergy among participating cities for building and strengthening neighborhood associations and for sharing innovative ideas and problem-solving strategies. Over two productive days, representatives from 19 cities will share best practices and participate in grassroots-oriented workshops to empower individuals to improve communities.

The RNNC is a proven venue for cities to learn from one another – then to put those lessons to work to make their communities even better places to live, work and raise families. In looking back over the conference’s 21-year history, it has blossomed from a circle drawn on a map to a five-state, 19-city network that continues to grow and inspire participants each year.

Louisville is proud to host this year’s conference. Since the RNNC last visited our city in 2000, we have experienced startling growth and progress, including becoming the first large community in 30 years to merge our city and county governments. We have also implemented many new strategies for strengthening our neighborhoods; continued to redevelop our waterfront and our downtown, and launched an ambitious, long-range plan to convert thousands of acres into suburban green space and parkland.

Please join us for this year’s RNNC. Your involvement and partnership is key to the conference’s success in bringing forth effective strategies for neighborhood development and revitalization.

Sincerely,

Jerry E. Abramson
Mayor
