Comprised of leaders from Nashville's refugee and immigrant communities, the Mayor's New Americans Advisory Council meets monthly in the Mayor's Office to discuss issues relevant to the New American population and to share ideas with government leaders. Its members have played a key role in developing a number of important Metro initiatives to empower New Americans. The council was created in 2009 to help foster a link between Nashville's New American communities and Metro Government.
