Recent Meetings of Allegheny County Mayors 

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. After starting off with a visit to the famed Oakmont Bakery, the meeting proceeded at the Oakmont Carnegie Library with a talk on the history of Oakmont and Verona from the president of the Oakmont Historical Society, followed by a roundtable discussion on police and shared services.
 
The most recent meeting took place in September at the Carnegie Borough Building in Carnegie. It featured Stacie Riley of Carnegie, who is also an ACBA Board Member. Mayor Riley spoke about the rich history of Carnegie Borough, followed by a roundtable discussion involving all mayors in attendance.

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.
