Book Club – Serving Our Communities Through Learning
Our club has a virtual meeting on the first Wednesday of each month at noon where we discuss books, podcasts, articles, or other media the members are interested in. On average, we cover four books a year, one for each quarter. The topics covered include leadership, self-improvement, history of water in the west, equity in our communities, social justice, our responsibility as public servants, and organizational psychology. All types of readers are welcome, even those who don’t have time to read but want to participate in meaningful conversations about career growth, personal development, and community service.
Prospective members can join any time and the only fees to join are the cost of the book (free through your local library) and a desire to learn and grow. To join, you can email co-chairs Brenna Wood (Brenna.wood@kimley-horn.com) and Frans Lambrechtsen (frans.lambrechtsen@kimley-horn.com) to get added to the distribution list and meeting invite.
CASFM Book Club has selected Atomic Habits: An Easy & Proven Way to Build Good Habits & Break Bad Ones by James Clear as our first read of 2025.
Our discussion/reading pace will be as follows:
- Wednesday, Feb. 5th: The Fundamentals through The 1st Law (beginning through chapter 7)
- Wednesday, Mar. 5th: The 2nd Law through The 3rd Law (chapters 8 through 14)
- Wednesday, Apr. 2nd: The 4th Law through Appendix (chapter 10 through the end)
Whether you’ve done all the reading or none, you’re always welcome at book club. Happy reading!
