Brenda Bozeman

Brenda Bozeman, mayor of Leland, has been chosen to serve as chair of the N.C. Mayors Association for the next year, according to a Leland town news release. 

Bozeman’s selection was announced during the organization’s quarterly meeting as a part of the N.C. League of Municipalities’ CityVision annual conference held in Concord in April, the release stated.

“One of my primary goals as chair is to foster a culture of collaboration and relationship-building within our association,” Bozeman told her fellow mayors, according to the release. “We all bring unique perspectives and experiences to the table, and by working together, we can develop innovative solutions to the challenges we face. This means building relationships, listening to diverse perspectives, and being open to new ideas and approaches.”

Bozeman replaces Lenoir Mayor Joe Gibbons in the position.

The N.C. Mayors Association is an affiliate organization of the N.C. League of Municipalities formed to provide a platform for the state’s mayors to work together regarding the major goals and challenges of cities and towns.
