A Conversation with Four Charlotte Mayors

Four mayors. Four perspectives. One remarkable city.

Join the Hood Hargett Breakfast Club for a lively, insightful conversation with four former Charlotte mayors:

• Harvey Gantt (1983–1987) — Democratic Party
• Richard Vinroot (1991–1995) — Republican Party
• Pat McCrory (1995–2009) — Republican Party
• Anthony Foxx (2009–2013) — Democratic Party

Through personal stories, candid observations, and a little humor, these leaders will reflect on Charlotte’s evolution into one of the South’s most dynamic cities. Hear about the decisions that fueled its growth, the struggles behind its successes, and the challenges of leading a city through change.

It’s a rare opportunity to hear perspectives from both sides of the aisle on Charlotte’s past—and what its journey can teach us about its future.
