On Thursday, March 24th, I attended the Boreas Booya, which was hosted by Kristi Kremers and they had a special guest: Darrell Johnson, who talked about working in corporate America and the State of Minnesota. It was a really good talk and its was great to hear that most people working for the government are there because they care about the mission and that they believe in the work that they do.
Here is the blurb about the talk: “Darrell Johnson is the Chief Information Officer for the State of Minnesota’s Pollution Control Agency and the Board of Water and Soil Resources. A former business executive, Darrell has navigated the corporate world and now finds himself in-between the intersection of state policy and environmental science. What does it take to be effective in multiple realms, and from an outsider’s perspective, translate science into policy, and policy into effective systems?”
