Have you ever wanted to serve your community by working in local government? This week's guest never did.

In fact, she wanted to steer clear of being involved in any form of politics.

But in this episode, Dr. Shanea Nelson talks about how her career path challenged her to impact others through the role of Director of Community Development for Lafayette Consolidated Government.

Dr. Nelson also does a GREAT job of really breaking down what this complex department does so that we can understand the full scope of what she and her staff do to build up our community.
