INTRODUCTION: Ben McCready, Assistant to the City Manager, Rock Island, IL
Bio:
The most rewarding things are never easy, thus I’ve learned to appreciate the lost art of patience and compromise. Everyday I get to help change what the public expects from local government by demonstrating our ability to innovate and adapt. As local government professionals we face similar challenges delivering similar services, yet each solution we craft is something uniquely shaped by the communities we serve.
