Not all levels of Government are broken. Some work extraordinarily well, on very limited budgets, thanks to many selfless and dedicated public servants.
Learning Outcomes:
• What members of the Washington State Legislature can learn from local government officials.
• Why local government works.
• The exceptional job done by county level officials, and why we should all be celebrating the job you do.

Could “kindness” be a business model? Spokesman-Review editor Rob Curley will explain how Spokane’s oldest and largest news organization embraced the concept of “the virtuous circle” — showing how a community grows in innumerable ways when it works together for the positive. More importantly, this unique strategy illustrates how a company can show leadership during difficult times for its industry to prove that positivity can feed more than just a bottom line ... it can re-energize its hometown.
Learning Outcomes:
• Embrace change and do it in a way that meets the needs of your customers.
• When faced with a challenge, learn how positive leadership can keep your employees committed to the goals.
• Better understand the changing media landscape and how it impacts your work.
