Welcome to Taking Liberty!

My name is Kathy Liberty and I am a graduate student at Troy University working on a Master in Public Administration. Over the course of the next eight weeks, I will add a new blog each week about leadership, public administration, and related subjects as I progress through my Leadership in Public Administration course through Troy University. I plan to keep my blog relevant to the world today and, with so much going on, there is plenty to blog about.

 So why did I decide to pursue a master in public administration?  I have always loved learning and being actively involved in my community. I am currently employed with the Louisiana State Senate, which provides me with an excellent opportunity to see what goes on behind the scenes and the process of taking proposed legislation from a proposed idea to law. Too few people understand or get the opportunity to experience this very interesting process.

In addition to my work in the public sector, I have had the opportunity to serve on the boards of directors of two wonderful nonprofit organizations: The Junior League of Baton Rouge, Inc. and The National Charity League - River Road Chapter. Both of these organizations, which I am proud to say are very successful, are volunteer organizations with goals of serving and positively impacting the community. As a board member for both organizations and having served one year as the president of the National Charity League, River Road Chapter, I have been able to experience the leadership, cooperation and foresight needed to have a successful volunteer organization. 

 

I look forward to blogging each week, sharing my thoughts, applying what I am learning to the world around me, and hearing from you.  Check back each week to see the latest in my blog, Taking Liberty.
