Be the first to comment!Municipal Matters: What does the city manager do?
By Ann Mitchell on August 1st, 2024
Local governments are not simply providers of municipal services; they are builders and sustainers of communities. I would further contend that they are the framework of our country. The statement above formed part of the research for my Master’s Degree in Leadership through Royal Roads University (2021). My thesis question: How do we enhance the ... Read More »

Be the first to comment!By the Way: It’s not always how or when our prayers are answered that sets us free
By Scott Raible on July 27th, 2024

Three years ago, a friend told me I was “woke”. He didn’t mean to dismiss me. Instead, he recognized that my values reflect the kind of social conscience African Americans (who originated the term) develop when they come to terms with the implicit and explicit racism they’ve experienced in the US for so long. The ... Read More »
