Prior to the meeting, Mayor Higgins has been appointed to the USCM leadership as Vice Chair of the Community Development and Housing Committee, a role that will help shape the Conference's national agenda on housing affordability, neighborhood revitalization, and community development.

USCM President David Holt, Mayor of Oklahoma City, welcomed Mayor Higgins' appointment to the Conference's leadership.

"We are excited to work with Mayor Higgins," said Mayor Holt. "She brings practical, innovative leadership at a time when cities need real solutions. I expect her to help advance work that strengthens Miami's neighborhoods and meets housing needs, and I know she will bring real value to this national leadership role."

"I'm honored to represent the City of Miami at the U.S. Conference of Mayors Winter Meeting and to join mayors from across the country as we work together on the challenges cities are facing right now," said Mayor Eileen Higgins. "I'm especially grateful to serve as Vice Chair of the Community Development and Housing Committee, because building stronger neighborhoods and expanding access to safe, affordable housing are core priorities for Miami and my administration. I look forward to bringing Miami's experience and our city's priorities to the national table, and to partnering with fellow mayors to deliver real, practical results for residents."
