Sign up for Break It Down, Local Government Style
We know there’s an amazing abundance of creativity and talent in the local government realm – you need only spend a few minutes talking to the analysts, directors, interns and managers who work for communities across the nation to realize that everyone has an interest area or niche that they’re passionate about.
ELGL has compiled some of these passion areas into 12 months of local government topics and we want public service professionals to “breakin’ it down, local gov style.” These ELGL.org blog posts will paint unique perspectives on some of the local government trends, concepts and ideas that communities across the country are addressing.
Blog posts are due to Sarah Henricks by the stated due date. Sarah will post for you on ELGL.org.
