Perspectives on City Management
The Texas City Management Association (TCMA) presents Perspectives on City Management, a podcast about the people who work hard every day to keep Texas cities running smoothly. In each episode we sit down with city managers and other municipal public servants to discuss the business of local government, and the professionals who make it work. Show topics include Diversity, Equity and Inclusion; City Management; Economic Development; Quality of Life; Next Generation of Leaders; and TCMA initiatives that benefit local leaders. Perspectives on Local Government is brought to you TCMA. The show is hosted, recorded, and produced by TCMA Social Media Coordinator Stacey Ford Osborne.

In 2022, 51 practitioners under the age of 40 came together to discuss how to advance the future of local government. The convening was modeled after the Minnowbrook conferences, which started in 1968 and continued in 1988 and 2018 to reimagine the field of public administration. In this episode, Lauren Rose and Derrick Stanford share their experiences as delegates at the convening. In addition, Mike Land shares his participation in organizing the event and the importance encouraging young professionals to be a part of the conversation.
Guests:
- Mike Land, City Manager, City of Coppell, Organizing Committee Member
- Lauren Rose, Assistant City Manager for the City of Sachse and General Administration Delegate
- Derrick Stanford, Corporal, City of Coppell and Public Safety Delegate
