Luncheon Presentation – Building 21st Century Government
Since 2011, Code for America has worked with 32 local governments through their Fellowship program, using technology and new ways of working to deliver more effective, efficient, and fair government fit for the 21st century. Through these Fellowships, they have identified seven principles that are critical for governments of any size, structure, or political persuasion in serving their communities. Code for America helps local governments learn and apply these principles to important problems. Jen Pahlka, founder and executive director of Code for America, a national nonprofit, will share examples of where and how these principles are impacting the way local governments do business and better serve residents, as well as reflecting on her own year of service where she served as Deputy Chief Technology Officer at the White House. - Talking Trash: An Innovative Approach to Waste Management Waste Management
