No mayoral position is easy, but leading a major city comes with a unique set of challenges. In cities like Chicago and Seattle, diverse communities with varying ideologies, needs, and demands must be balanced. Lori Lightfoot, former Mayor of Chicago, and Jenny Durkan, former Mayor of Seattle, both guided their cities through some of the most difficult and unprecedented crises in recent history. At an upcoming Ford School event, Lightfoot and Durkan will discuss their experiences and offer broader lessons on governing during times of crisis.
This event is free and open to the public. Register to attend in person or watch virtually via live stream.
