The City of Traverse City invites residents, partners, and community members to join City Strategy in Motion + A Team Traverse City Celebration on February 19, 2026, an evening dedicated to reflecting on the progress made in 2025 and looking ahead to the year to come.

Event DetailsDate: February 19, 2026
Time: 4:30–6:30 p.m.
Program Begins: 5:00 p.m.
Location: City Opera House

The event will showcase highlights from The Performance 2025: A Year in Review and demonstrate how community priorities are actively shaping City strategy, investment, and operations.

A central focus of the evening will be the City’s first-ever Strategic Action Plan and its implementation through Commission-adopted Objectives and Key Results (OKRs).

Adopted unanimously by the City Commission on June 2, 2025, the Strategic Action Plan marked a defining milestone for the City. Developed through a nine-month, community-driven process engaging more than 1,500 residents and partners, the Plan established six Strategic Pillars and 24 Action Items to guide policy, investments, and decision-making over the next five years.

During City Strategy in Motion, attendees will see how that vision is moving from adoption to action. City leaders will outline how the Commission’s OKRs translate the Strategic Action Plan into clear, measurable outcomes that now shape departmental work plans, budgeting priorities, and cross-departmental collaboration—ensuring accountability, transparency, and progress that can be tracked and reported.

Community members are encouraged to attend and kindly RSVP by February 12.
