Deputy City Manager, City of Arvada-Allison Scheck

Apex Activated sat down with Allison Scheck-Deputy City Manager, City of Arvada and talked all things about her journey that spans continents, communities and countless cups of tea!   From growing up across the pond to helping shape the future of Arvada, Allison’s story is anything but ordinary. Somewhere between her British roots and Rocky Mountain horizons, she found her way to Colorado and has never looked back.   Now serving as Deputy City Manager for the City of Arvada, Allison is one of those behind-the-scenes powerhouses who keeps a city moving forward. Big-picture strategy? Check. Community connection? Absolutely. Navigating growth, change, and opportunity while keeping people at the center? That’s her sweet spot.   But here’s what makes this episode extra special: Allison isn’t just shaping a city with her rock star team, she’s raising kiddos, building community, and balancing public service with real life. We talk about leadership with heart, what it’s like to cross an ocean and build a new home, and how local government can truly impact families, businesses, and neighborhoods in meaningful ways.   There’s laughter. There’s insight. There might even be a British accent moment or two.   If you’re curious about leadership, community impact, or how someone goes from England to influencing one of Colorado’s most fun cities, this conversation will leave you inspired and maybe even a little more curious about how to get involved with your city!   Remember to comment, like and share!   Find us on Apple, iHeart, Spotify, Podbean or wherever you get your favorite podcasts!
