#6 - Let data into the game! A conversation with Bradley Gotshall

Today we talk with Bradley Gotshall about why he is invested in the profession of municipal management and what makes him excited about the future. Hint: he sees the possibilities for technology to increase effectiveness in delivery of services, outreach to community and efficiency within the organization. With so few young professionals in the pipeline, he is one of a small sub-set of managers who are coming up through and has some valuable perspectives for the future.  

He is currently the manager of Lower Paxton Township in Dauphin County Pennsylvania. Find out more about him on Linked In Here.
