Wichita Mayor Carl Brewer and three city council members will be attending an annual National League of Cities event in Boston this week. The league is hosting its annual Congress of Cities and Exposition. 

Vice Mayor Janet Miller and council members Lavonta Williams and James Clendenin will also attend the conference, along with city manager Robert Layton. The group will also include three members of the Mayor's Youth Council - Ayron Lewallen of Northeast Magnet High School, Akim Richards of Maize High School and Krystian Fish of Northwest High.  

The Congress of Cities will focus on three main strategies for cities, which will deal with promoting strong local economies, building sustainable communities and strengthening neighborhoods and families.
