- Jan Smaby on public policy issues
Jan Smaby, president of Spring Hill Center, discusses public policy. Topics include AIDS, diversity, and politics. Smaby also answers listener questions. Ms. Smaby is co-host of the popular public affairs program, "Almanac" on public television. Smaby came to the job at Spring Hill last fall, after serving as director of Hennepin County's Human Service Department and as chairman of Minnesota's Sentencing Guidelines Commission. Spring Hill is a conference center just west of the Twin Cities where policy makers from many parts of the community can go to hash out ideas. It likes to place itself on the cutting edge of public policy, dealing with emerging issues, rather than ones that have been around for a while.
