I will be attending my first Transforming Local Government conference this June 1-3 in Clearwater, Florida.   As a Regional Director, it will be my first opportunity to meet members from the west, east, and even Canada. While as a Chicagoan, I'm anxious to trade my gloomy cold spring weather for some Florida sunshine, the real benefit of TLG will be meeting the top local governments from the west, east, and even Canada.

Some things I'm looking forward to:

1.Meeting my co-workers in-person for the first time

2. Hearing about the best practices from the top innovative governments

3. Connecting with those in my region

Less than a month until the fun begins.  Can't wait!
