Government Innovator Spotlight Q&A: Michaela Geronima Doelman - CHRO, Washington State ESD

I’m the Chief Human Resources Officer (CHRO) for the Washington State Employment Security Department (ESD). I kind of got here by accident. Although public service was always where I wanted to be, HR wasn’t even on my radar of options, I just knew I wanted to help people like my parents did in their public service jobs. After graduating from college and working in Mexico for a couple of years, I moved back to the US in 2007 and wasn’t in the position to be picky about what job I could take, I just wanted one that paid the bills …

Women in Leadership Spotlight Series: Colleen McManus HR Programs Manager & Executive Consultant, State of Arizona

Much of my public sector career has been spent in para-military agencies, so I became accustomed to environments that were largely comprised of males, particularly in the key leadership and decision-making roles. I learned that if I regarded and presented myself as a professional first and woman second, other people saw and treated me as a professional. When I moved into senior leadership, I had the opportunity to mentor other women and create development programs for all staff in these environments, which helped to bring more diversity and inclusion in leadership roles. Throughout my career, I have been immersed in …

How 5 City Leaders are Balancing Operational Efficiency & Innovation in 2021 - Event Recap by Tony Batalla

I recently had the good fortune and pleasure of serving as the Chair of Public Sector Network’s “Improving Operational Efficiency in Local Government” virtual event on January 27, 2021. Even though Alex Chard said he was looking for a charismatic innovation leader for the role, he settled on me after I told him I didn’t know one. Hey, I’ll take it! The event was well attended and nicely put together, as you would expect from PSN (aside from having me as the chair, which was risky). But despite my cable TV gameshow-like hosting, we covered important ground. Leaders from across …
