I first started writing this journal with these thoughts in mind:

• City Managers will get an opportunity to see what I have learned from them
• The journal will serve as a source of support and encouragement
• City Managers will get a brief view of what others are doing throughout the state of Texas
• At some point I will apply what I have learned within the context of an organization

We will continue to write this journal with these thoughts being our guidelines. As we travel the State, we will offer our comments on controversial issues.

We will also have a newsletter called Confront the Issues. You can subscribe to it by going to our website www.profacilitator.com.
