And now, it's about to get even better...
This year, at our 2014 "New Wave" of Local Government Conference in Denver this August, we'll be unveiling a NEW online tool. For many of you, this has been a long time coming - you might even have a guess at what it is. For those of you who are new to Priority Based Budgeting, and even veteran implementers, think BIG! Your path to realizing the promise of aligning ALL of your community's resources with the results that matter most, through the unique lens and disruptive local government innovation of PBB, is about to get far easier and even more effective!
If the mystery unveiling isn't exciting enough for you, we're also rolling out our 2014 "New Wave" of Local Government Conference app. Click here to download the app to your mobile phone (send link to your phone first).

At the CPBB we love thoughtful, constructive feedback. So when the National League of Cities offered to provide us testimonials they received on our fiscal health through priority based budgeting session during their annual Congress of Cities Conference, we were very interested! And pleasantly surprised at the results (See a sample of testimonials below)!
And while this year's 2014 "New Wave" of Local Government Conference is much more than a forum for us to speak, we'll have the same quality of engaging, enthusiastic and knowledgeable speakers. Speakers with deep knowledge and experience in:
A Revolution in how Community’s Leverage Resources! Leading the Way in Key "Result Areas" - Through the "new lens" of Priority Based Budgeting, communities have unveiled an entirely unique understanding regarding the "Results of Government" that define the very role of modern local government.
