When it comes to taking on challenges in public service and civic technology, Kirsten Wyatt knows that with the right people and the right ideas, good change can happen. That’s why for Kirsten, building networks of government leaders and practitioners who can relate, connect, and collaborate is a top priority.
“Public service work is hard, it can be demoralizing, I just have a deep belief that when we connect people doing this work there is a much stronger likelihood that they are going to stay in the field and do that work.”
Kirsten first founded ELGL: Engaging Local Government Leaders for local leaders to exchange ideas 💡 and interact with one another. Now, she leads our Digital Service Network (DSN) which unites government leaders using technology, data, and design to deliver public services.
