By Sallie Ann Burnett, East Regional Director, Alliance for Innovation
At the recent BIG Ideas meeting in Dublin, Ohio, the Alliance Board of Directors approved a plan to be the catalyst for vibrant communities through local government innovation. Our focus over the next four years will be supporting and growing a network of local government innovators, leveraging research to identify leading practices and emerging issues, inspiring innovative cultures and practices in local government, and being a major force in the innovation space. Zelos, a consulting firm in Alexandria, Virginia that serves many local governments, led the strategic planning process alongside Alliance Board Members, staff, local government professionals, and representatives from the academic community.
