The U.S. Conference of Mayors is a nonpartisan organization of cities with populations of 30,000 or more, serving as a primary forum for municipal leaders to share best practices and influence federal policy. Salwan’s appointment places him in a key position to help shape national dialogue around urban park management and recreation infrastructure.
“When Fremont has a seat at the table, we have an opportunity to bring something back home,” Salwan added, signaling a focus on bringing national insights to local development.
Mayor Salwan, who has served in various capacities in Fremont city government for more than 18 years, including as a councilmember and vice mayor, assumed the mayoral office in December 2024.
