The Government Innovations Forum was created when members of the Managers' Roundtable -- an organization of city and county managers and administrators from the Greater Kansas City metropolitan area -- committed to support a full-time staff person at MARC to manage communications between managers and jurisdictions and follow through on Roundtable ideas and initiatives. Supported by contributions from over 40 cities and counties, the Government Innovations Forum provides staff support to the Managers' Roundtable and its initiatives and connects members with a variety of regional research and decision-making mechanisms.

The Government Innovations Forum produces a monthly newsletter, Management Matters, for managers, assistants, staff and other interested parties.

The next meeting of the Managers Luncheon is Friday, October 10, 2008 at 12 noon at Olathe City Hall. The program will include a presentation from Chris Tatham on Direction Finder and from the city of Olathe. Please RSVP to Beverly Wilson or register online.
