Butch Hollowell: Transition is About Listening and Community - Detroit Next Full Bonus Episode

Malachi Barrett recently chatted with Melvin "Butch" Hollowell, who is leading Mayor Elect Mary Sheffield's transition team. Hollowell explains what stage the transition is and how his years of experience working on transition teams has guided the approach to the current one.  "The brand for mayor elect has all been about listening and community. So we're going to make sure that people have an opportunity to say what's on their minds. How are the core city services that they're receiving in their particular neighborhoods being handled? What can we be doing better? We want their unvarnished opinions, because that helps to drive where we put attention and resources so, and this is, this is consistent with how mayor elect is has served the public throughout her career. So for us, it will be, we want to hear what you have to say, we will turn that feedback into into action through our our transition committees and through, frankly, the the governing structure that will begin to take shape on January 1." - Melvin "Butch" Hollowell Check out every episode of Detroit Next online now!
