A journey of more than 24 hours of flight from the other part of the world to the US was warmly welcomed by many great people from ICMA, US State Department and more in Washington D.C. before heading to my host community, the Town of Hooksett, New Hampshire. As expected, Dr. Shankle, the Town of Hooksett Administrator has warmly welcomed me to his office and community sharing me his years experiences and leadership skills  as the Town Administrator and challenges he has faced throughout this period. Every single piece of his sharing is very valuable, practical, and useful for my career life back to my home country, Cambodia. I am looking forward to learning lots more experiences and skills from him until the day I depart back to D.C.
