Getting Back To The Future
2022 CCM Convention has a live on TV Gubernatorial Debate and a lot in store for municipal officials
A
fter nearly three years of the COVID pandemic where it felt like everything took a pause, folks are eager to get back to the future of Connecticut. Building upon the foundation set before March of 2020 and using the fuel that came with federal funds, towns and cities are ready to hit the road running. On November 1 and 2, we are going to Get Back To Connecticut’s Future at the 2022 CCM Convention at Mohegan Sun.
Final Gubernatorial Debate In addition to the many workshops, networking events, and awards that you know and love, CCM will be partnering with News Channel 8 to host the final gubernatorial debate before the election. The debate helps ensure the candidates – and the public – are considering issues of concern to towns and cities right before Election Day. For more information on the debate, read the article on page [x]. CCM is excited to help municipalities across the state get back to the future. Check out what to expect at the 2022 CCM Convention.
