Great leaders aren’t born with a title – and can start their journey by raising a hand. And the strongest leaders now are investing in what comes next, by creating opportunities for future leaders to grow, learn, and lead.

On the latest Local Gov Stories Podcast, join hosts @DannyLangloss, and @Melanie Santostefano – who interviews @Ashley Palbitska, Assistant to the City Manager and Deputy City Clerk for the @City of Highland Park. You’ll learn about Ashley’s 20-year journey in several roles – all at the City – and how stepping beyond her day-to-day responsibilities has shaped her career and understanding of the profession. She also encourages others at similar stages in their careers to seek out new opportunities whenever possible!

Tune in for insights on leadership planning and growth, career development, and how local government can be proactive in preparing the next generation of public service leaders.
