Insight to go

MW Shares is devoted to sharing the stories of communities from coast to coast to coast. We cover the issues that matter most: council-staff relations, diversity and inclusion, climate change, placemaking, innovation, economic development, civic engagement, human resources, and more.

MW Shares takes listeners deep into the civic issues that municipal governments must tackle every day, highlighting new and emerging next practices, and sharing stories intended to shape and elevate conversations about community.

These are the stories of local government – the celebrations of success, the sharing of lessons learned, the cautionary tales, and the keen insights into what lies ahead for municipalities.

We invite you to join our conversation – and to perhaps share your story here on MW Shares.
