How does your organization demonstrate public service and/or urban governance...

So on this post we have a topic to write about, and this one is “How does your organization demonstrate public service and/or urban governance?”...

I am privileged to work in the Town of Gilbert intergovernmental relations department and working with a bunch of talented individuals that each bring something to the table. As apart of the team I understand how we play the background and do the leg work to help ensure the Mayor, Town Manager, and town council is ready and informed on all situations involving the Town of Gilbert and also the surrounding cities. We have to attend a lot of meeting to stay informed to help better ensure a wise decision, the team lobbies at the state to ensure the public in Gilbert get what they deserve. The town of Gilbert has been a rising town and receiving awards for the hard work that is done by all public servants. I see that working at the Town of Gilbert there is a lot of pride and everyone wants to maintain the status that has been achieved through the hard work. The team I know and am a part of takes public service very seriously, by reviewing emails, voice mails and letters all directed to the Mayor or the Town specifically and maintaining a professional relationship with the public. Addressing all questions, comments, and concerns in a timely manner servicing the public because that is big priority. I am a public service public policy major and this is what I like to see and how I want to be as a professional, putting the town and the public first, understanding the true meaning to public service.
