Connie Nelson is passionate about using design to improve outcomes for people -- people who are to be benefitted by public purpose organizations. Since 1994, Connie has participated in or led over 30 Labs to rethink areas as diverse as property taxation, child support payment, older adult self-sufficiency, youth homelessness, and tribal nation sovereignty. Recently, Connie worked with leaders in Oregon to help redesign behavioral health and special education systems, and with leaders in Minnesota to redesign supports for people with developmental disabilities. That design, called “My Life, My Choices,” won a MN Public Policy Achievement Award. Connie is a Partner Emeritus of the former Public Strategies Group.
