NNSA Administrator Tom D’Agostino hosted mayors from across the country while the mayors were in Washington, D.C. during the annual U.S. Conference of Mayors meeting last week. The mayors represented major metropolitan cities and local communities – including Livermore, Calif., Danville, Calif., Dublin, Calif., Albuquerque, N.M., Las Vegas. N.V., Amarillo. Texas, Columbia, S.C., and Kansas City. Mo. All cities are located adjacent to NNSA laboratories and plants. D’Agostino appreciated the opportunity to communicate directly with these local leaders and to discuss issues of mutual interest.
NNSA leadership recognizes that local community officials serve as a source of strength not only in advancing NNSA goals locally but also in strengthening the organization’s relationships with other key federal and state officials to move the nation’s nuclear security agenda forward. Each of the mayors expressed their appreciation for the opportunity to convey their priorities to D’Agostino and indicated they would be doing the same with other administration and congressional officials during their stay in Washington, D.C.
