Close on the heals of her "
10 Over the Next 10" award from the
Lansing Regional Chamber, one of Lansing's favorite boomerangs,
Rory Neuner, has now been honored as member of the
Next American City Vanguard Class for 2010. She'll join other urban leaders from around the country in developing an agenda to rebuild the country's cities.
According to excerpts from the article:
Next American City, a national quarterly magazine committed to improving cities, will host the
Next American Vanguard conference on May 26-27. Participants will work on the "Next American Vanguard Manifesto"—15 goals geared toward making the more than 30 participants' cities better.
"I'm excited to take part in the event," Neuner said Monday. "They have a whole slate of speakers and topics that are relevant to Lansing."
Formerly with the
Michigan Environmental Council, the 29-year-old Neuner, a 1998
Haslett High School graduate, now oversees 10 states in their efforts to get more children to
walk and bike to school.
Neuner earned a political science degree from
Yale University. She has a master's degree from the
University of Chicago's Harris School of Public Policy.
