Brian Seo, CORD Affiliate, on City of Phoenix Management Fellowship

CORD Affiliate Brian Seo reports that the best part of the City of Phoenix Management Fellowship Program is learning about "every corner of the city, starting from various field offices and facilities to the highest level of leadership." As a public administrator and researcher (as well as ASU School of Public Affairs PhD student), Seo's interest in city operations stems from a desire to improve his own capacity to provide insight into the challenges faced by local governments. He's now one-third of the way through the one-year fellowship, rotating between the City Manager's Office, the Budget and Research Department, and departments providing direct service to the community.
