Slater Matzke, MPA

Hi, I’m Slater. I work at the intersection of strategy, partnerships, and community impact, helping organizations turn big ideas into real-world results. My work focuses on bringing together public agencies, industry, and higher education around initiatives that create long-term value for communities and regional economies.

My background spans economic development, workforce development, organizational strategy, and place-based initiatives across government, consulting, and nonprofit environments. I enjoy working in complex spaces that require collaboration, practical problem-solving, and steady execution to move projects from vision to reality.

I’m especially drawn to work centered on strong partnerships, applied learning, and initiatives that leave a lasting impact.
