I had the distinct honor of spending time with an incredible cohort of future public servants. The @VolckerAlliance invited me to participate in their 2025 NextGen Service Summer Policy Academy in Washington, D.C. This program is building the next generation of public servants and allowing them to connect with their peers, elected officials, and future colleagues. Thank you again for inviting me to share my journey.
