We invite you to join us at our Annual Membership Meeting on May 2, 2026 at the Deaconess Center! Members will convene to conduct business, including the approval of our annual budget, bylaws amendments, and new board slate.

Our featured speaker is Annie Rice, J.D., Senior Counsel for Policy and Partnerships at ArchCity Denfenders (ACD), who will be speaking on “State Interference in Local Government and the Impact on Metro St. Louis.”

Prior to ACD, Annie served on the St. Louis Board of Aldermen from 2018-2023, working closely with people-centered coalitions to advance impactful legislation and working with constituents to improve their relationship with their local government and their lived experience in our city.  Her legal career began working with families through the complicated legal processes of immigration in the US and she serves on the board of the MICA Project in St Louis.  She is a 2018 Aspen-Rodel Fellow in Public Leadership, a 2020 New Deal Leader and former member of Local Progress but her political activism blossomed in Ferguson, on the streets of St Louis and on the steps of the City Justice Center.  Her experiences in law, government and public service have shown her that the mission of ArchCity and partner coalitions is more important than ever.

Registration opens at 9:30 am, and our program begins at 10 am. Coffee, tea, and pastries will be served.
