Descripción

Local Gov Stories Podcast Hosts @Melanie Santostefano and @Danny Langloss sat down with veterans of the profession and seasoned municipal and county managers - all the way to the next generation of public servants from across Illinois at the recent @Illinois City/County Management Association Winter Conference. Fresh ideas were shared, along with real-world takeaways from keynotes and educations sessions – and one powerful theme came up repeatedly: that local government is more than a profession, it’s a strong community of professionals that show up for each other to continually advance leadership.
