Here's the top of the press release:

Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory is one of six U.S. mayors who will travel to Israel next week for the 25th Annual Jerusalem Conference of Mayors hosted by Jerusalem Mayor Uri Lupolianski.

Mayor Mallory was selected by The U.S. Conference of Mayors to represent the conference as part of the delegation. Mayor Mallory is participating in the delegation as part of his on-going strategy to increase Cincinnati’s international profile and recruit new business investment and jobs to Cincinnati.

The meeting is sponsored by the American Jewish Congress-Council for World Jewry, which is covering the costs of the mayors’ participation, and The U.S. Conference of Mayors, and is conducted in cooperation with Israel’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

“I am honored for the opportunity to represent Cincinnati at that prestigious gathering of International Mayors,” Mayor Mallory said. “Cincinnati has a great story to tell, and the best way to tell it is to take it directly to the world. By building relationships around the world, we increase Cincinnati’s global presence both economically and culturally.”
