Thank you @JenaGriswold for showing the nation what civil service looks like. I’m so proud of Colorado’s ballot system and your defense of it. You inspire confidence and trust. That should be every government leader’s ultimate goal. Keep doing what you’re doing!

So many parallels to customer advocate programs, or better, Customer Advocate Programs. Do you want easy, low-impact, or a program with might?
Sometimes we forget the psychology behind the power of customer advocate marketing. Here's a good reminder. lnkd.in/euMqWGK lnkd.in/ep-UYpi
