A budget isn’t just numbers — it’s the clearest story an elected official can tell about what matters most. Yet too often, that story gets lost in complex documents rather than being communicated in ways residents can understand and connect to. 

When public officials fail to translate spending into tangible outcomes, they miss an opportunity to build alignment and support. 

Join NLC and Enterprise Partner Indigov, now a Granicus company, to learn how to turn your budget into a compelling narrative that shows exactly how you’re investing in your community’s future.   

Speakers: 

  • Alex Kouts, Vice President, Emerging Technology, Granicus
  • Ben Leffler, Chief of Staff, City Council District 5, Austin, TX
  • Ebone Clifton, Program Director, Member Services & Engagement, NLC
  • Sam Johnson, Councilmember, Columbia, SC 
  • Steve Gilleland, Director of Sales, Indigov
