The 2013 Transforming Local Government Conference just concluded and to quote one of its keynote speakers, Ms. Rebecca Ryan, we were truly "drinking from the firehose of awesome."    TLG is a  great group of innovative and creative local governments that come together to learn from one another, inspiring keynote speakers who challenge us to do more,  and always-supportive and encouraging  corporate partners--all held together through the wonderful Alliance for Innovation staff and board. 

The Center for Management Strategies is very happy to be an partner of the Alliance for Innovation in spreading innnovation and creativity to local governments around the world.  Congratulations to the Alliance for a very successful, challenging and truly awesome 2013 TLG!!

If you aren't drinking from the "firehose of awesome,"  be sure to check out the 2014 Transforming Local Government Conference, the Alliance for Innovation and  ICMA's Center for Management Stratgies (and its awesome service providers, the Center for Priority Based Budgeting and the Commonwealth Centers for High Performance Organizations)   as well as other programs and activities of these great organizations that support the work of local governments and their managers and staffmembers!
