At GovTalk, we understand the critical need for improved communication and collaboration among local government professionals. Founded by former local government employees who witnessed firsthand the lack of interaction and awareness between neighboring councils, we are on a mission to break down these barriers.
It's astounding that councils sharing borders often have staff who are unaware of each other's existence. This disconnect limits our collective potential to serve our communities effectively. GovTalk was launched to change this reality by fostering open, inclusive communication and knowledge-sharing among local government teams.
We believe that when councils collaborate, they can achieve remarkable outcomes for their communities. GovTalk provides a dedicated platform where administrators, planners, policymakers and anyone in local government can connect, exchange ideas, and learn from each other's experiences. By embracing communication and collaboration, we aim to empower local governments to thrive and make a positive impact on the places we call home.
Join us in building stronger connections and breaking down silos across local government. Let's work together to enhance communication, share insights, and create a more connected and effective public sector.
