Hello for Good Fall Symposium

Thank you to everyone who attended the Hello for Good Fall Symposium! Our guest speaker was former Houston Mayor Annise Parker, whose regional approach and ability to work across the aisle were key to her success as a three term mayor. A regional approach and its use of accountability, structure and maximizing dollars is a model that is proven to assist more people in the community. Spokane can learn a lot from the success of Houston.
