The Allegheny County Boroughs Association (ACBA) has been pleased to host recent meetings of Allegheny County Mayors. This initiative is an opportunity for mayors of Allegheny County to come together to learn about various host municipalities, to discuss topics specifically relevant to mayors, and to celebrate intergovernmental cooperation.
 
The first meeting took place in September in Munhall Borough at the Carnegie Library of Homestead. It featured Mayor Jim Nowalk of Whitehall, who is also the president of the Pennsylvania State Mayors Association. Mayor Nowalk spoke about the role of the mayor within communities. The next meeting occurred in January and was co-hosted by Oakmont and Verona Boroughs. Carnegie Borough also hosted a meeting in September of 2024, and a group of Mayor’s also met at ALOM’s Spring Educational Conference in April 2025. 
 
The most recent meeting took place in September 2025 hosted by Mayor JoAnna Taylor at Mt. Oliver Borough. In addition to many topics relevant to Mayors, the group also discussed formalizing the group and took steps to do so. 

Thank you to Mayor Rob Falce of Munhall for hosting the first September meeting, Mayors Sophia Facaros of Oakmont and David Ricupero of Verona for hosting the January meeting, and Mayor Stacie Riley for hosting the latest meeting. Special thanks to all the mayors who participated! The ACBA hopes to continue this initiative with quarterly meetings across the county.
