I have been coming to these games for 15 years. Mason has one of the biggest crowds I’ve ever seen!

1st 1/2 marathon for Evan! 20th full for Mike! ✅ West Virginia #WeAreMarshall

#BigHouseLive #FirstGame #GoBlue Love sharing this tradition. Same seats my Dad sat with me in! 💙

Making my public commitment today at @MMLeague Board of Trustees Meeting on how I will lead this year. I always learn so much at these sessions and from the other Trustees!

So proud of this guy with his 16th marathon state (TN) in the books- 17th (CA) next week!

Thanks @jessicatramonta for letting me be your guest. You are a natural! Inspiring women reminding us to pull up the chair for those behind us and make sure everyone is full at that table! ❤️

@VandecarAngie Thanks friend- you are an inspiration to me too- leading with your authentic self and supporting other each day no matter what the challenge.

A1: My friend and mentor @DebStuart2 is an exemplar in leading as City Manager. She is firm and fair, juggles career and family, and a pillar in our community-advocates for schools, and more.She says if you can manage people and change, that’s leadership! #memspachat #sheleadsk12

I love a good all employee In-Service and this one didn't disappoint as we focused on Solution Mindset. Special thanks to Fire and Police Chief for hosting a heated game of Family Feud where teams were tested on City knowledge!

Great night enjoying @vancejoy in Chicago! Just the mental break we needed from a heavy week in Michigan.

After a big snowfall, we see streets naturally reshape and become more complete as cars travel over them and snow builds up. These sneckdowns (or snowy neckdowns) and reveal how much extra space we cede to cars that could be redeveloped into cycling or pedestrian infrastructure.

Great day at Capitol learning from @MMLeague the key policy issues impacting cities. Loved rights & responsibilities of citizens - vote, be informed, and voice opinions.

Proud to represent the City of Mason with the Mayor on this team last night. The energy and enthusiasm in that room was contagious! Great towns have great schools and we are lucky to have @MPSBulldogs!

Good ideas are not enough… Heard that @MIMunicipalExec conf and it stuck… Staff, elected official, residents need to accept that all our “good” ideas require working together, being open to the faults in those ideas & a willingness to compromise to actually implement them.

I struggle with this sometimes but it is worth working through the discomfort. Especially the example of... - My perspective about this is valid *and* so is theirs even though we disagree

@MIMunicipalExec #MME Mid-Sized Cities Round Table- podcast mentioned on housing. Interesting take.

Proud of our Student of the Month! More impressed w her amazing teacher that delivered it to our home since she is too sick to attend the ceremony tonight! First smile in days. We ❤️ Mason Public Schools!

Never forget- I just finished “Three Sisters” an amazing historical novel based on the true story of three sisters that survived Auschwitz. Their story and so many more are worth reading and remembering. #InternationalHolocaustRemembranceDay

Another addition to the City of Mason family arrived this week! Her pic isn’t for us to share but she is perfect, cuddling up with this blanket from us❤️ So happy to offer paid parental leave so her Dad gets to be there for this special time! #WholePerson

You know you are a City Manager when you get notice of kids snow day & immediately get defensive. “What do you mean roads aren’t safe?!… I have to check! It must be the temp cause roads look great!…nope! Oh, it must be the county roads in the district- surely not us…”😂 ❄️

Our Elfie, Mason, has been busy at work all over the City the past few weeks and created quite a bit of havoc for our staff! Wishing you Happy Holidays from the City of Mason Crew!
