The Center for Priority Based Budgeting is thrilled and honored to announce an exciting new partnership with Kathie Novak, a former long-term Council member, two-term Mayor of the City of Northglenn, Colorado, and former President of the National League of Cities. She joins CPBB Founders Jon Johnson and Chris Fabian in bringing the dynamic and established concepts of Fiscal Health and Priority Based Budgeting to local governments nationwide. Kathie's wealth of experience and insights from the perspective of an elected official will truly enhance and energize the work of CPBB. Welcome and congratulations Kathie!

Kathie states, "I so believe in what the Center is doing...helping elected officials and communities really understand their financial situation, better communicate that information to their citizens, and use that information to make the best decisions possible for their communities in light of  changing economic situations.    The tools they have developed help policy makers move from the "What we know we need/would like to do"  to the "How do we actually make it happen."  I wish I had this available when I was in office!"

ICMA's Center for Management Strategies presents Priority-Based Budgeting, the first in a series of web conferences designed to share leading practices for managing local governments.

In this session, you will discuss this holistic approach to budgeting that helps local government managers engage citizens in the budget process for a fiscal outcome that aligns with community priorities and gets buy-in from elected officials.

The speakers:
-    Jon Johnson, co-founder, Center for Priority-Based Budgeting
-    Chris Fabian, co-founder, Center for Priority-Based Budgeting
-    Kathie Novak, former elected official and 2009 president of the National League of Cities
