October Topics
Building Without Code: Low- and No-Cost Tools for Local Government
Date & Time: October 1, 11:00 am – 11:45 am CDT
Presenter(s): Micah Gaudet
Low- and no-code platforms are transforming how organizations create digital solutions—making it possible to design functional apps, interactive websites, and process automation tools without deep programming expertise. In this webinar Micah Gaudet will introduce a selection of powerful, accessible tools ideal for local government projects, from streamlining internal workflows to improving public engagement. Participants will learn how these platforms can reduce development time, cut costs, and empower staff across departments to bring their ideas to life, all while maintaining flexibility and control.
Executive Book Briefing: Abundance by Ezra Klein
Date & Time: October 8, 11:00 am – 11:45 am CDT
Presenter(s): Randy Mayeux
In this Executive Book Briefing, Randy Mayeux will explore Ezra Klein’s Abundance, a thought-provoking examination of how societies can reimagine growth, innovation, and progress. Klein challenges traditional scarcity-driven narratives and instead makes the case for abundance as a guiding principle in addressing today’s most pressing issues—from climate change and healthcare to housing, technology, and governance.
Participants will gain insights into the core arguments behind an “abundance agenda,” how abundance thinking reshapes public policy and leadership decisions, and practical takeaways for leaders navigating complexity in government and organizations.
Join us as we distill the key lessons from Klein’s work and discuss how leaders can apply these ideas to create resilient, future-focused communities.
