Our speaker will be Anne Laurent who is Los Alamos County’s Deputy County Manager overseeing Broadband and Public Relations & Communications divisions within the County Manager’s Office, and the Community Services Department.

 

Prior to moving to Los Alamos in 2008 to serve as the Capital Projects & Facilities Director, Anne lived and worked in both Arizona and Michigan as an architect and project manager. Anne became the Community & Economic Development Director in 2012 when her department was merged with the Community Development Department. Anne moved to Park City Utah to serve as their Community Development Director for four years in 2015 before returning to Los Alamos to be the Public Works Director in 2019. She was promoted to Deputy County Manager in 2021.

She is a NM licensed architect and holds PMP (project management) and CEcD (economic development) certifications. She will discuss what is happening in the Community Services Department and describe what they are responsible for, go over how it relates to Pueblo Canyon, the golf course, and why they spend large sums of money on consultants before having a clear idea what the community would like.
