Waukesha Mayor Larry Nelson was elected president of the 36-member Wisconsin Alliance of Cities on Wednesday, the alliance said in a news release.
Nelson, elected during an alliance meeting in Appleton, succeeds Appleton Mayor Tim Hanna, who was president for more than five years.
Hanna will remain on the alliance's board.
The alliance said Racine Mayor John Dickert was elected vice president and Green Bay Mayor Jim Schmitt, Whitewater City Manager Kevin Brunner and Oak Creek City Administrator Patrick DeGrave were re-elected to its board.
The alliance advocates for urban property taxpayers, wise land use and sustainable communities across Wisconsin.
