Dave Uejio started by asking a question, an observation and a challenge. The question that Dave asks is “Why are we here?” Dave mentioned that people will learn a ton by being, but there are a lot of reasons why they are here. Dave stated, “It’s part to renew your passion for the government community.” That his the heart of NextGen Summit, to inspire and reimagine how young government leaders can transform government. “It’s an opportunity to grow, an opportunity to engage and be around people passionate to do your best,” stated Dave.
