Civil Conversations is a place where we’ll talk about NYC policy and politics with NYC civil servants. Through these chats, we’ll gain alternative perspectives on what is and isn’t working in city government, from the view of those working closest to constituents and implementation of services. We’ll also learn more about people in the sector as a way to showcase individuals, and talk about ways to elevate and promote the value of this massive workforce, and the policy change ideas that may be stored in their minds. #nycpolitics #civilservice #nycmayor #nycagencies #nycgovernment
