Big news on Aaron Mertz!

I wanted to pass along some kudos for our friend, Aaron. It's no surprise to all of us who know him that he's pretty awesome, but this is just one more confirmation of his "awesomeness"...and doesn't he look so spiffy in his suit?

You'll see here and here that he was 1 of only 3 people selected to participate in the city of Phoenix’s Management Intern Program for 2008-2009.

During the history of Phoenix's internship program, many participants have continued employment with the city after their internship year. Others have gone on to hold positions in federal, state, county and other city governments, including many who are city managers or assistant city managers throughout the nation.

Way to go Aaron! We're very proud of you.
