Transparency is essential for building public trust, yet a recent CivicPulse report shows that only 30% of residents feel that local government is transparent about how budget decisions are made! ⚠️ Latest article explores the survey and how governments can close this gap and build trust through smarter, more transparent financial planning with our tools & partners at Euna Solutions. https://lnkd.in/gaHsU23H cc Balancing Act from Polco, Polco, Funkhouser & Associates #PublicSector #ResidentEngagement #CommunityAlignment #Trust #EunaSolutions

Had a great time attending ICMA - International City/County Management Association in Pittsburgh with the City of Ontario Team! During the conference, I had the opportunity to listen to great keynote speakers, bring back several takeaways from the sessions, visit with some of my favorite vendors (Chief Leadership, Envisio, Qualtrics, and Polco!), and caught up with many colleagues. #2024ICMA
