"The Transforming Local Government Conference provides an opportunity for public administrators to learn regional and national best practices associated with local government implementation. Attendees use the information received to recreate success in their own communities."

- John F. Castile
Deputy City Manager, Greenville, SC

"I think the outstanding sentiment about the conference is the fact that it provides the opportunity to experience the community of government purpose. The learning workshops, the speakers, and the various sessions provided give the participants new energy and a sense of reinforced commitment. Those who attended will surely carry that energy and commitment back to their own respective cities."

"The Conference encouraged us to ask questions, seek answers, and embrace continuous improvement within our organizations and ourselves. Each year, I say that the Transforming Conference cannot get better, but it does!"

"The breakout sessions succeeded in linking ideas with action. Communities proudly displayed their efforts at innovating service delivery systems and programs. They demonstrated the capacity to create new and impact approaches to community formation while creating a deep, strong philosophical foundation on which to construct their programs."

"They demonstrated, most articulately, what this conference calls us to do… to excel at seeing a tomorrow not yet considered and to take thoughtful, informed, and creative steps to move in that direction.”
