S2:E11 - Moving Toward More Diverse Representation: w/ Austin Quinn-Davidson & E.J.R. David

Moving Toward More Diverse Representation: w/ Austin Quinn-Davidson &  E.J.R. David

 

If you follow the news in Anchorage you might be aware that the City Assembly and the Mayor are currently at odds. One of the many areas of conflict is around the newly created position of Chief Equity Officer. What might get missed in the news coverage is the underlying issue of how Anchorage can be represented in a more equitable way. In this episode we consider how the leadership of the city can become the way it is supposed to be for all people.
