About the Symposium

The National Association of Counties (NACo) Large Urban County Caucus, or “LUCC,” is the premier forum for urban county leaders and is the voice for America’s metropolitan counties before Congress and the Administration. The LUCC symposium brings LUCC members together with national thought‑leaders from philanthropy, academia, think-tanks, business, and federal agencies to amplify the voice of urban counties, drive national policy priorities and equip county leaders with the knowledge and networks needed to tackle pressing urban issues.
