Edinburg Mayor Ochoa Selected for Harvard's New Mayors Program

Edinburg Mayor Omar Ochoa has been selected for Harvard University's Program for New Mayors: First 100 Days, a two-day intensive program hosted by the Bloomberg Center for Cities.

The program brings together 34 newly elected mayors representing 6.7 million residents across 23 states. Ochoa will learn alongside peers and experts on leadership practices including priority-setting, crisis management, and team building. The Bloomberg Center for Cities, working with Bloomberg Philanthropies, the U.S. Conference of Mayors, and Harvard Kennedy School's Institute of Politics, provides continued support beyond the classroom sessions.

"By learning alongside and building connections to other U.S. mayors at Harvard, I look forward to strengthening the capabilities my city hall will put to use in addressing pressing challenges, pursuing key opportunities, and serving our community," Ochoa said.
