Many of us who are inspired by Strong Towns are also excited to collaborate with our city government to strengthen our communities. We enjoy working in partnership with city planners, commissioners, councilmembers, consultants, and staff...and some may even grow to formally serve the public through any of these roles!
If you are one of these emerging leaders, we hope you will connect with us and seek to learn more from our resources!
Strong WA also seeks to help cities across the state "build the bench" of future community leaders who are inspired, connected, and knowledgeable on how to most effectively and sustainably co-create your city.
