Week 3: Open Doors, Steady Hands

Our theme for this transition is simple: open doors, steady hands. Open doors to invite more voices into the work. Steady hands to keep city services humming while we set clear first-100-day priorities. Here’s where we are and what’s next.

We’ve stood up our issue-focused policy committees. Each group is using a common findings template so your ideas translate directly into near-term, practical recommendations.Currently over 300 people have engaged with our survey.  If you haven’t weighed in yet, please take two minutes to share your priorities at wilsontransition.org, your feedback is shaping the work in real time.

To ensure a seamless handoff, we’re meeting systematically with every department head to align active projects and deadlines, surface staffing and resource needs, and flag bottlenecks the Mayor’s Office can help clear. The goal is straightforward: continuity of service throughout the transition, 311 moving, permits predictable, parks cared for, while we identify early “unblockers” for the first 100 days.

We’re building a service-first team. The Intergovernmental Affairs (IGA) Director role is posted now.  See openings and share with great candidates: wilsontransition.org/hiring.

We aligned on near-term deliverables: a concise executive summary by Inauguration Day, followed by a fuller transition report during the first 100 days that incorporates department briefings, committee recommendations, and community input. We’ll publish plain-language timelines and checkpoints so everyone can track progress.
