The Leadership U City program is being sponsored by UCityUnited, a new
independent, non-partisan and non-governmental body committed to shaping the
future of University City by facilitating communications among the diverse
groups of the City on matters of mutual concern, whose members believe great
cities are created by informed and involved citizens. This inaugural
Leadership U City program is an effort to inform interested residents about
our community.

Participants may take part in one or all of the seminars. Space is limited,
though, so pre-registration is required. To register or for more
information please e-mail ucityunited@ucitymo.com or call 314-725-9094.
Register with your name and all contact information, and let us know which
of the three seminars you would like to attend.

The Leadership U City program is FREE. Light refreshments will be served.
