SMART GROWTH AMERICA Thursday, June 20, 1:00 p.m. ET Complete Streets Webinar: Lessons Learned from On-the-Ground Safe Streets Projects from Alaska to Connecticut In 2023, Smart Growth America (SGA) hosted Complete Streets Leadership Academies in Alaska, California, Connecticut, and Tennessee. These four states joined local jurisdictions to help push their Complete Streets work further. The leadership academies are designed to increase capacity, improve relationships, and lead to immediate on-the-ground change through quick-build demonstration projects on dangerous state-owned arterials. Hear from program participants and SGA staff as they share what worked, what didn’t, and how those interested in these projects can leverage the experiences from this program to advance street safety in their own communities.

I cannot speak highly enough about the great program that the North Central Massachusetts Chamber of Commerce puts on every year. Being a young(er) leader in an organization, especially one that oversees higher-level employees, can be challenging in ways you may not initially realize. Building camaraderie and professional relationships with a smaller and smaller number of peers as you move up the chain can be isolating. The Community Leadership Insitute (CLI) can provide young leaders with the peer-to-peer guidance, professional relationships, and frankly friendships that are so critical to the growth of young leaders in Central Mass. For a region that is often times overlooked, NCMCoC is doing their part to prepare the next cohort of true economic and community leaders. Thanks to Kat Deal and Roy Nascimento for their continued leadership in North Central Mass. #ncmcoc #leadership

Local Governments Nurture Community Development As a school leader, I prioritized partnering with our local legislators. Why? Because they establish policy and funding for education. When I assumed my leadership role, one of my first acts was to meet with local delegation members and offer our school as a resource. We would host events such as town halls, round tables, and focus groups to assist our local delegation. In today’s video, we’ll discuss how local governments nurture community development through school district collaboration. #EducationalLeader, Kim “When students are led well, they learn well” #Educational #Leadership

Being a mentor in a similar leadership development program was life-changing. Participants grew, found their voice, confidence, skills, and lessons to cary forward and pass down to their followers as they advanced into leadership roles. When you invest in talent… Great things happen! Why would you expect anything different from a cohort of professionals eager to grow and reach their potential who happen to be blind? #Leadership #Talent #ProfessionalDevelopment #Inclusion
