Public executives (mayors, county executives, governors, heads of state) will likely face one or more crises in their time in office. It's important that they can pull together effective response teams to handle public relations, to alert the public of circumstances, and to provide calm and a sense that these situations a being handled in a professional manner. #crises #executives #governance #stategovernment #maryland #keybridgecollapse

🌟Midweek Memories: Our 10 Year Story Today we are looking back to our first Future 21 Conference, held on 15 & 16 September 2016. The Future 21 Conference was held in partnership with ANU Crawford School of Public Policy, and explored the pressing challenges for Australia in the 21st Century, through issues-based sessions & practical workshops. With addresses from leading policy thinkers, including Emeritus Professor Paul Dibb, and a keynote speech from the Head of the National Security College at ANU, Professor Rory Medcalf AM, it was truly an event to be remembered!

I am so proud of the work the Maryland Lynching Truth and Reconciliation Commission (MLTRC) is doing to shed light on buried episodes of racial terrorism in our state’s history while working with communities to create a path towards reconciliation. We just had our first lynching hearing — this one in Frederick County — in over a year, and it was nothing short of phenomenal but please don’t take my word for it. The experts, the descendants, and the community members who testified were profound, passionate, and powerful. Despite the somber topic, witnessing this truth telling felt uplifting and restorative. Please watch the hearing. Please spread the word. Please lift up these voices. I recommend starting at the 39 minute mark for a powerful presentation on the history of lynchings in Frederick County and the circumstances behind the lynchings of James Carroll in 1879, John Biggus in 1887, and James Bowen in 1895. https://lnkd.in/e6d9QTPp Maryland is the first and only state to have a lynching truth and reconciliation commission. I am grateful to serve on it and grateful to live in a state that is unafraid to confront hard truths. We will be holding hearings in every MD county where a documented lynching occurred. If you live in MD, I encourage you to engage in the important work of this groundbreaking commission. We will need your support when we submit our report and recommendations for reconciliation to the MD State legislature. If you live outside of MD, consider petitioning your state legislature to create a commission like this. As always, I am encouraged by the diversity of people who participated in this hearing. Don’t ever let anyone convince you that racial justice is a black versus white issue. There is room for everyone on the side of justice. Onward until victory is won and justice is done.
