Speaker: John Stafford, Director of IPFW's Community Research Institute
Topic: Appointed Not Elected: The Question of Personal Bias When Influencing Public Policy
John Stafford, who has served Fort Wayne and Northeast Indiana for many years in many capacities as an appointed public official and consultant working with elected public officials on long-range planning, economic development and community development, will reflect on his experience in local government and lobbying at the Statehouse. He will explore the role of an appointed public official in the formulation of public policy in local government and pose the questions, How can you provide useful information to elected officials without bringing in personal bias when it is fundamentally impossible to do so? How do you attempt to provide balanced information and yet offer something of value to keep the process moving?
