Town of Telluride’s Post

Transcript

My name is Scott Robson. I'm the town manager for the town of Telluride. There is no other town like this in America as far as quality of life experience in the mountains. It has a thriving arts community, a lot of great culture, a lot of great history and just a great place to be. Whether you're a ski bum or a, you know, someone trying to raise a family. We continue to build I think a really. First class team here at the Town of Telluride and our goal is to retain great employees and recruit the best around the country. My name is Jimmy Moody. I'm a Deputy Marshall for the town of Telluride. My name is Katie Neesham and I'm a Deputy Marshall for Tiered Marshalls Department. A job posting was open, so I came out and I tested and I met the chief and I fell in love with the community again and I realized I didn't have to just dream of retiring until you're right. I could actually live and work and tell you ride my favorite. What about working in the Telluride area is just that Telluride super unique. We have festivals, we have off season, we have a really awesome winner season, really awesome summer season. So month by month it changes. There's this fear, like it's super remote, it's hard to get to and it's far. But what you don't realize is once you live in Telluride, like the world comes to you. Everyone wants to be here. I mean, living and working in a small town comes with like a ton of benefits. But probably one of the coolest ones about Telluride is if you work for time in Telluride, you get a free ski pass. I'm a pretty avid snowboarder, so as soon as it snows, I'm just dreaming of it. Whenever friends visit, I love to take them on the Verada. Whether it's riding side by side, hunting, hiking, camping, it's it's all there and it's endless fun here. And Telluride work, life, balance is something that is paramount to every department within town of Telluride. I've never been denied a day off. I've never been forced into overtime. And taking time off, you know, there's no guilt associated with it. So that's what I like the best, the support we have at our department from the top down it. It's it's it's been endless. Ever since I've been here, we've had nothing but support and it makes it very easy for us if we have ideas for ways we can help the community or programs we want to start. We have that positive impact amongst the community because we interact with everyone on a one-on-one basis and they're not just a number. And I think it shows because a lot of community members come to us. We're really passionate about what we do. So you know, every call is important to us, to any like potential future coworker who is thought. About like living in the mountains or like moving out. Like I know it can seem scary, but the best thing you can do is just come out. See it, experience it, and understand. Like don't. Don't someday yourself out of a life. Like, if not now, when?
