Long-term accountability
As you may recall, I kept my "election" pages visible throughout my service on council. I've always felt that every elected representative should be accountable long-term for what they said when they were campaigning.
Now that this site has been revamped to concentrate on my facilitation work, the button for "election" has disappeared. But the archived pages remain, and can be seen at http://www.lataylor.com/election
When I look back at those pages, I see some things that I was able to move forward, and other areas where I failed to be persuasive enough to make change happen. Reminding myself of my original goals puts my council service into perspective for me. Goals have a tendency to morph in our minds over time -- having them in their original written form makes for a ruthlessly accurate personal check-in.
