Life Well Run Community Heroes
If you look around your community, you’ll find people using their talents each day to improve our quality of life. Some are in very public roles-like police officers or teachers. Others keep the roads maintained, collect recycling, beautify our parks and public spaces. We’re capturing profiles of these community heroes who work with professional city, town, and county managers to make Life, Well Run. Nominate a Community Hero in your jurisdiction that helps create a Life, Well Run. This person is a member of the CAO’s staff or extended staff. He/She is a star performer and has a love for public service; may have been working for local government for many, many years; or someone who is a recent hire but has already made an impact.
