New Year resolutions provide a moment of reflection to invest in something we value 鈥� get healthier, be a better friend, or spend more time with family. This year, as I thought about my resolution for the PPMC, I kept coming back to one thing...

How did you get here? Where are you going? 鈥淚 didn鈥檛 grow up in local government.鈥� That is my standard answer, when friends would ask about my path to the Public Policy and Management Center and Wichita State. I grew up helping, working, and connecting with those in my rural communities. I saw the commitment to service, strength, and ingenuity of those around and beside me.
