Wyoming’s Frontier Spirit Pioneers Innovation in Government Through Technology

Abstract

Wyoming people are independent, but neighborly. When Bob, a friend of our family, takes a trip out and around the state, I’ve asked him if he’s going out to visit with the folks. “Yep!” he says. “I’m going to do a little networking and liasoning!” In Wyoming, connecting comes naturally. Drop by anybody’s home either in town or on the ranch and soon you’ll be discussing the weather, the government or the markets over the hood of the pickup truck or over a cup of coffee at the kitchen table. Building relationships. Exchanging information. Learning each other’s best practices. That’s the Wyoming way. That’s the way government ought to be as well—connecting people and services with each other
