ELECTED OFFICIALS: LEVERAGING IMPORTANT RELATIONSHIPS


GIGI DENNIS
COUNTY ADMINISTRATOR
ALAMOSA COUNTY, CO

From State Senator to Alamosa County Administrator, Gigi Dennis discusses working with Commissioners and staff.

“You have to have the right people around you in order to be successful.”

Key takeaways:

  • Understand and accept your role - don’t replicate the role of the elected official.

  • Protect your elected officials and celebrate their accomplishments.

  • Remember that they hired you for a reason. The electeds rely on your talent and expertise to keep the city or county moving along.
