I worked with Gary Sasse in creating the Bryant Institute for Public Leadership. The Bryant Institute educates town and city officials, especially school committees and mayors/town councils on collaborative decision-making. I have great experience over the last two years in working with over a dozen communities to help elected officials, town managers, and school superintendents make informed decisions and improve governance in their communities.
