Rail~Volution’s Public Officials Learning Network Part 1. The Challenge of Public Leadership: You're Not Alone Gaining public support, setting priorities, maintaining momentum and exercising effective leadership are all challenges facing public officials. As an official, you may feel unprepared and alone in your quest to implement transit and livability projects. Here's your chance to swap stories with other elected and appointed officials -- mayors, commissioners, council members and transit officials -- about the complexities you face. At this first of two sessions, we'll identify specific topics for deeper discussion at Tuesday's public officials networking lunch. Sharpen your leadership skills, build your network and get inspired. Moderator: Kristin Jacobs, State Representative, Florida William M. Velasco, Chair of Board TOD Committee, DART, Dallas, Texas Michael Opat, Commissioner, Hennepin County, Minneapolis, Minnesota Lou Ogden, Mayor, City of Tualatin, Oregon Russ Johnson, Councilman, City of Kansas City, Missouri Breene Harimoto, Councilman, District 8, City of Honolulu, Hawaii
