Mackenzie Moss works for the Office of Performance Evaluation, an office created in the mid 1990s by the Idaho state legislature that aimed to offer the highest quality reports and recommendations about projects undertaken by the Idaho government. Some describe it as the original DOGE. MaKenzie came in to speak about the problems the office has been outlining in reports regarding Child Residential Care Facilities in Idaho and what can be done about it. These are sobering conversations but also absolutely crucial to understand if we are to care for the most vulnerable amongst us.

Phil Gore is the Chief Learning Officer for the Idaho School Board Association. Idaho, along with other states, voted for a version of school vouchers (School Choice in Idaho), and many public education advocates felt disheartened at the end of the legislative session. Directly following the session, many school bonds to build new schools for Idaho’s growing populations also failed, which further upset public school champions. Phil had great insight into the current state of education and how best to spend your time if you want to improve the public system in Idaho. Enjoy!

Bree Derrick is the director of the Idaho Department of Corrections. Idaho currently has roughly 10,000 individuals incarcerated, and Director Derrick is working non-stop to ensure to the state of Idaho that the department of corrections both ensures that those sentenced to do time do serve that time but also have the best chance at not returning to the corrections system. This is, as you can imagine, an incredibly complex problem, and I greatly enjoyed our conversation.

Todd Achilles is a District 16 Representative and came in to speak about his push to remove non-compete clauses from Idaho. There are many industries, like the health industry, that must rely extensively on out of state recruiting to serve our growing populations’ needs. With this initial investment, some companies want to make sure that they will not have to compete against professionals they have brought into the state, and therefore require a non-compete clause that prohibits competition within a certain timeframe and geographic area. However, there are drawbacks to this method, which is why several states, both conservative and liberal, have outlawed these clauses. Todd came in to speak on what he sees with this issue. Enjoy!

Lisa McClellan is the director of the Idaho DMV. If you have ever wandered into one one of the establishments, you’ll notice immediately that it’s a huge departure from the torturous experience that many have in other states. I recently went to register a vehicle and it took me 15 minutes from start to finish and cost me a fraction of what it cost in previous years. Hearing about what Lisa and the DMV have done to streamline and cost save was a perfect example of government done well. Enjoy!

MaKenzie Tiegs is a paramedic who has worked in several Idaho organizations ranging from wild lands fire fighting to rural EMS to large health systems.

Idaho has an aging population and we need the best possible EMS services, so understanding what can be done to reduce turnover and increase longevity of healthy careers is a must. Enjoy!
