“WHAT I LEARNED IN THOSE THREE DAYS WAS SO INCREDIBLY SIMPLE, BUT ALSO INCREDIBLY TRANSFORMATIVE. THE WAY THEY HAVE YOU LEARN ABOUT WHAT A COMMUNITY REALLY WANTS AND NEEDS AND DESIRES AND ASPIRES TO IS BY ASKING AND LISTENING.”

— Public Innovators Lab Participant

“RICH HARWOOD HAS HELPED TO GENERATE A NEW LEVEL OF AUTHENTIC CONVERSATION IN OUR COMMUNITY. WE ARE GRATEFUL FOR THE WAYS HE HAS GUIDED, INSPIRED, AND CHALLENGED US TO GO DEEPER, TURN TOWARDS ONE ANOTHER AND TRULY LISTEN.”

— Suzanne Mineck, President of the Mid-Iowa Health Foundation
