71. Being a Fellow ©2013MassDevelopment 71 Key Observations •No two days are the same •Different skill sets most important in different districts, but need to be comfortable in a variety of substantive areas •Most important aspect of job is to be ombudsperson – help advance TDI agenda in a wide variety of settings with a wide variety of people •Patience to build momentum •Enables MassDevelopment to be immediately responsive to activity in district- regular communication is key both on the local and MassDevelopment level- more time simply communicating than in any previous job I’ve held

72. Being a Fellow ©2013MassDevelopment 72 Key Observations (cont.) •Critical to continually grow the partnership by networking and making yourself available – look for important voices that haven’t traditionally had a place at the table •Idea of an economic development agenda that is urban and physical in nature is often new to people •Tremendous value of a fresh, impartial voice •Capacity need not come from independent, third-party, but a significant help to have someone who can work impartially across political and personal divides- a lot of times that’s what’s needed to break the logjam in cities
