Ready Set Go... [Free Write]

Well it seems there is an opening in the Town of Gilbert for the Assistant to the Town Manager. I was in a carpool heading to a grand opening with the team and I heard them say my direct supervisor Leah was interviewing for the position. I was astonished to her this but I was happy for Leah, she works really hard and is very good at what she does. Every time we have a one-on-one I soak up everything and anything I can obtain from her. She is molding me to become an efficient intergovernmental relations employee, because as we discussed in a meeting what this job entails is exactly what I would be doing when I return to my reservation and work with them. As we (my tribe) are a sovereign nation our government must establish good government-to-government relationships to ensure we can succeed as a whole. Whether it be dealing with local government, state government, and federal government someone will have to know how to approach the situation correctly. I imagine it would be a big departure to the intergovernmental relations team if she does receive the position but everyone there wants her to advance and the team is tight knit to where they will handle anything that may come. And I will be able to see the outcome during my internship as interviews are happening now and I think there will be some change in the department, we shall see. Ready set go...
