Help send a westie to the Next Generation of Government Summit!

I won a ticket to attend the Next Generation of Government Summit with my video contest entry. But the Summit is in Arlington, Virginia, and our City of Reno, Nevada, travel budget is $0.

I’m not sure if this will work, but I thought I would put a request out there to the gov community to sponsor my travel! The Summit is designed to “bring together rising government leaders at the federal, state, and local level.” I think local government has an important voice, but unfortunately gets left out of the conversation at many national events.

The feds & fed-centered businesses are great at organizing government leadership events, but they typically happen near the US capital. Geography and travel budgets are a challenge to getting everyone involved. Especially the governments of the west, when events like this happen on the east coast.

P.S. Obviously, please note that if you sponsor my trip, as a government employee I still can’t endorse your product or take crazy perks like an Aruban vacation or anything. I *will* give you a hearty handshake and will tell people who sent me!
