Feedback from City Staff

“Thank you both so much for the opportunity to be part of CityStudio. It was great to see the fabulous ideas the teams came up with and we were all so impressed by the turn-around of the teams in responding to the to the morning feedback. You opened our eyes to some new possibilities to the program and the fresh approach to our challenge was incredibly insightful. Here’s hoping we can work together soon on another project.” - Sue Goddard, HR CoV “The best 2 hours of my day.” - Jerry Dobrovolny
