Beyond answering the question of how to best utilize relief funding, comes the question of how municipalities will use lessons learned in a time of extreme crisis to create better solutions for our agencies and the communities we serve moving forward. We will speak with municipal leaders who put processes and systems in place to answer the most urgent of needs that then led them to recognize that they, like many of us, were uncovering issues that predated COVID.

Join us as we enter into a conversation with Doug Kinley III, Management Specialist, City of La Quinta, CA, and Colleen Kardasz, Assistant Director, Loudoun County, VA.

We’ll discuss how they:

• Dealt with pain points they encountered in the early months of the pandemic,
• Managed grant programs to address critical needs, 
• Evolved their responses, systems, and processes, and
• Identified opportunities to learn, connect, and create sustainable solutions that will long outlive this pandemic.

Additionally, we’ll detail the systems they put in place in advance of future hardship, which will enable them to be better prepared and lessen the impact on their communities.

Following a robust conversation, we will welcome questions and shared thoughts so that we can learn from each other. 

Panelists:
