The TML Small Town Conference is designed for city officials and staff who serve towns and cities in Texas with a population of 15,000 or less. The small city-focused sessions and opportunities to network will create momentum that can lead to better planning and a stronger community.
Join us in Bastrop to learn and connect with other leaders across Texas who, like you, are working to build and support vibrant small cities. We’ll talk about:
• Practical leadership strategies you can use right away in your city
• Clear guidance on council–staff roles, communication, and governance best practices
• Economic development tools and legal basics designed for small Texas towns
• Budgeting and forecasting tips to help you plan with confidence
• Step-by-step insight on finding and securing grant funding
• Legislative and legal issues that affect your city’s day-to-day operations
