Join GovWell and Holly on Saturday, July 18th to grab a drink and network alongside the 2026 NACo Annual Conference and Exposition. We'll be meeting at the Grand Isle Restaurant, a five minute walk from the convention center, after the conference schedule wraps up on Saturday. Hope to see you there!
About GovWell
GovWell’s mission is to help governments deliver faster, clearer, and more accessible public services. Starting with tools for building permits, licenses, code enforcement, and planning and zoning, GovWell is building the operating system for modern civic life — a single, integrated platform that connects the tools governments need and the services people rely on. The result is a simpler and more responsive government that meets residents’ expectations in the digital age.
About Holly
Holly is on a mission to empower the public sector with the workforce it deserves. Our dream is a future where public sector HR professionals can focus on serving people, not managing paperwork and where governments are fully staffed and well-equipped with the best talent in the workforce. Our AI-powered classification, compensation, and labor relations platform works to do just that, ensuring local government HR teams stay competitive in talent markets and are able to lead effective, data-informed negotiations. Founded by Brendan Hellweg and Cherie Chung in 2024, Holly was built by people who know the public sector inside-and-out, from first-hand experience and thousands (and counting!) of conversations.
