State, local, and education decision makers are under pressure to enhance public safety and network productivity while also investing in strategic initiatives to increase engagement among constituents, including residents, students, workers, and other stakeholders.
This invitation-only Executive Roundtable Breakfast convenes government participants and local peers to contribute ideas, insights, lessons learned, and proven practices to the national dialogue on these emerging issues.
