The resolution urges the Board of Supervisors of Southern University and Agricultural and Mechanical College to establish a mayor's institute at the Nelson Mandela College of Government and Social Sciences. It highlights the need for mayors to have access to specialized tools and education to effectively address local government issues such as infrastructure, housing, public safety, economic development, and tourism. The proposed institute would facilitate the exchange of ideas among Louisiana leaders, enhance their leadership skills, and provide opportunities for interaction with state government officials and agencies.
By creating this mayor's institute, the resolution aims to foster best practices in governance and ultimately improve the quality of life in Louisiana's communities. The resolution calls for the transmission of its text to the chairman of the Board of Supervisors and the dean of the Nelson Mandela College to ensure that the proposal is considered.
