"State of the Cities" Membership Luncheon
2026 State of the Cities Membership Luncheon - Sponsored by AT&T
On Thursday, August 20, 2026, we held our AT&T-sponsored "State of the Cities" Membership Luncheon. We began by reciting the Pledge of Allegiance and welcoming city officials, members, and guests. Then we invited Jomo Castro and his team to share a few words from AT&T and thanked them for sponsoring our luncheon. Click here to see their recent flyer for Business Internet with 5G backup.
