Field of Study: Finance

Governments are responsible for not only delivering basic services like garbage pick-up and street maintenance to their residents, but also for addressing problems that negatively impact the quality of life in their communities. Challenges such as high unemployment, homelessness, and affordability often feel too large for a government to tackle alone, yet many have managed to do so successfully.

This session will provide case studies on how governments have launched ambitious programs to address significant issues such as population loss, affordable housing, process improvement, and more. No matter the scale of challenges your community is facing, attendees will leave this session motivated and equipped with strategies for managing high-impact projects that deliver results.
