When I think of Kansas City, I think about… A city I never thought I would move to- yet, here I am!
The biggest issue facing local government is… Staying ahead of growth, recruiting millenial’s, and continuing to remain tax-friendly.
My pro tip for getting the most out of professional conferences…Go mobile – make the most of the conference app! Also, get on social media and use some hashtags. In general, be more intentional about making the most of your conference experiences and don’t take any of it for granted!
If I had to create a presidential ticket with my top two mentors, I’d select…Mike Hutchinson (Mesa, AZ), and Karen Thoreson (Alliance for Innovation).
