Civic dreaming and doing.

Solving Policy and Political Puzzles.

  • I was touched by your words in the card to "Be the dream weaver!" So, I think I will! đź’™ I appreciated your help so much with our process improvement project. Thank you for introducing me to that process of problem solving and helping me see there was a way to get it accomplished. You are awesome at what you do, and I look forward to crossing paths again as well.

  • You are so good at helping people figure out their place in helping people!

  • Even though it might have seemed like I had my speech down and was confident, I don't think I would have nailed it as well as I did without your support. You gave me the much needed little push to shine on the stage. Additionally I don't know where we would be with our Summit planning without you. Your hard headedness, attention to detail, and calm, thoughtful, positive attitude really helps us get through each year.

  • I had a blast at our Day at the Capitol. Thanks for such a magical experience, as standing on the actual House floor was a dream.

  • Your editing is amazing. It was so much fun to see the changes you made and how it added to the story. Thank you. And thank you for letting me slip in around the 11th hour. I can't tell you how much that meant to be part of it.

  • You did an amazing job [on our COVID-19 vaccine campaign], and we were lucky to have your expert help... truly.

  • You’ve delivered as advertised. Thank you for rescuing me from failing miserably at trying to put this together myself!

  • I also want to thank you for your leadership of the Colorado Chapter. You and Doug have been a joy to work with, and have left the Colorado Chapter in good shape for the future. Hopefully we still get to work together from time to time!

  • I really thought about this portion of the class as operationalizing innovation. I feel like the tools I learned in class provide me the opportunity to start making small process improvements to my own workflows to be able to make a positive impact on my community. Process improvement doesn't have to be huge to make a meaningful impact on user experience and services provided.

  • I appreciated the hands-on approach to this session. I really felt like I walked away from the course with tools to be able to make a tangible impact on my work and community. I like the hands on exercises and ability to work through these tools with my classmates.
