Speaking on the Future of Communities
I help audiences understand what’s changing in their communities and identify decisions they can make now.
Keynotes, Workshops, and Moderation
I speak with conferences, chambers, economic development organizations, classes, clubs, and civic groups. I also moderate panels and lead workshops on housing, workforce change, redevelopment, and civic leadership.
