Memphis has been participating in Reimagining the Civic Commons since 2016 and the evolution of its work has resulted in the transformation of Tom Lee Park, a 31-acre riverfront park named in honor of local hero Tom Lee. Memphis River Parks Partnership framed their goal of a successful park experience around a simple yet powerful expression: being a neighbor.

Senior Organization Development Consultant *Improving the health & success of leaders/teams/organizations/communities by maximizing human potential, cultivating meaningful connections & leveraging innovative solutions.*
I'm grateful for the Organization Development and Knowledge Management (ODKM) master's program at George Mason University. Currently, I have the privilege to work with Lea Pickett and Madhavi Jodhpurkar (two ODKM alumni) on Organization Development (OD) projects at EnCompass LLC for USAID Bureau for Global Health, which is a dream! I was first introduced to the program via a few colleagues, as I led an OD Team at the Marine Corps. I recall my colleague and dear friend, Lea Pickett, brought so much value to our team and clients. Once she creatively swayed a high-level client to use storytelling to replace a leadership team's status updates to promote engagement and fun. The team embraced the approach, and it was a huge success! I attended a few Learn Comms, which is when current students share their learnings/wisdom with the larger community (the next one is Nov 18th!). I spoke with Tojo Thatchenkery and Penny Potter, PhD (two amazing professors/leads of the program) and they invited me to the open house. At the time, I was skeptical of pursuing the program because I already had a master's degree. I ultimately decided to complete the program because of the transformational focus and the practicality of the learnings. While going through the program, I loved the ability to directly apply my learnings to client-facing work to make an organizational impact, as well as cultivate meaningful friendships with students and faculty. Most importantly it was a transformative (life changing) experience! As a result, my leadership effectiveness substantially improved in all aspects of my life. I highly recommend this program and encourage you to attend the upcoming open house (details below). If you have further questions about the program, please reach out to Penny Potter, PhD. #OrganizationDevelopment #KnoweldgeManagement #LeadershipEffectiveness #Transformation #ODKM #MSOD
George Mason University - Schar School of Policy and Government Open House is on November 2, 5-7 PM at Van Metre Hall, 4th floor. Please comment and tag someone who might be interested. Their #organizationdevelopment program helped me make an important pivot in my career and a new bestie - Mary Greiner, MSOD.

It's taken a few months, but I have my newest deep dive history of downtown Gainesville, part two of a three-part history. The 1980's were the first steps in revitalization. By focusing on designing for people and investing in the arts we created the sparks that would make downtown a lively city center by the early 2000's. How we funded that and how these decisions made downtown what it is today was what I focused on. Give it a read and let me know what you think: https://lnkd.in/gdCwxspF

Philadelphia is approaching a tipping point moment, with new mayoral leadership, unprecedented public funding, and the opportunity to create a long-term vision for an excellent education system. We believe that in order for systemic change to truly take hold in this city, we need to bring people together to not only talk about addressing the problems, but commit to taking concrete steps toward solutions – no matter the obstacles we face along the way. This requires collaboration, trust, resolve and political will. Our priorities for the next school year are ambitious by design. Our students and families are eager for us to take action to improve their education experience; but we know that we at Elevate 215 can not do this on our own. Learn more about our collaborative approach to seize this moment for Philadelphia, and join us in creating a brighter future for our students. Elevate 215's Priorities: https://lnkd.in/eYvwcTtG #Elevate215 #PHLed

Greetings from BMC '97. Your Jewish alumni, parents of Jewish students, Jewish faculty, and staff have been through a year of incredible trauma at Bryn Mawr and Haverford, as a result of decisions, actions and complicit inactions by school administrators as a result of a hostile antisemitic environment on both campuses, in response to the Hamas terrorist attacks of October 7. While this recent lawsuit filed by the Deborah Project is against Haverford, Bryn Mawr's complicity is also implicated - allowing an "encampment" and permitting Haverford students who had committed antisemitic acts of violence to come to Bryn Mawr and terrorize the women there. Recently, the BiCo News published an article by a visiting professor, which advocated for armed "revolution" against Israel (i.e., Jews), which contradicts every tenant of Bryn Mawr's Quaker tradition of nonviolence. Yet, when alumni posted a comment in response, her comment was deleted by BiCo editorial staff (twice). These aggressions, overt and micro, are but some recent examples of ongoing an unaddressed trauma and harm, for which there has been no acknowledgement, much less remediation and accountability. As far as I know, you are not a BMC graduate, so while your sentiments here about BMC's history and culture are nice, I was educated there, and have very memories of Bryn Mawr, so much so that I have contributed to the institution in innumerable ways since graduation. Memories that are now tarnished by the betrayal of watching an institution I loved turn on me like a snake, and betray every ideal it espoused in the process - logic, reason, tolerance and respect. Other alumni feel the same. So forgive me if your breezy post about Bryn Mawr's storied past and ice cream socials don't quite land. We look forward to engaging with you on these issues.
"Walking up the steps of Taylor Hall this morning, I had a simultaneous sense of starting anew and coming home. I am aware of the powerful history housed in these buildings, on these grounds, and especially in all of you — a history of which I am not yet a part. Bryn Mawr College is a remarkable institution with a complex history and a focus on academic excellence, access, and inclusion that prepares all of us for lives of meaning and purpose. The college’s mission and the layered ways so many of you are committed to telling its history and building its future are why I am here today."

In December 2023, I was invited by Courtney Christensen from Kansas City Public Library to give a keynote to open their 150th anniversary celebrations. In January I learned that ART IN THE LOOP FOUNDATION, the public art program for #KansasCity run by Downtown Council of Kansas City, had been so inspired by the talk that they had chosen #convivencia as the theme for their public art summer with KC STREETCAR AUTHORITY. This is the impact that I hoped to see from my research. In my latest newsletter, Ann Holliday and Edwing Mendez talk about how the capability of #coexistence transformed into more than 20 performances and installations. I find this story of Kansas City so inspiring. The big takeaways from it are: 1. There is no greater tool for communicating values than #publicart. 2. Public authorities have power and should use their power on how public spaces are used as a platform for the arts. 3. The biggest investments in the arts are not done by growing the cultural budget but incorporating the arts into public infrastructure. 4. Even when working on serious subjects, like downturn revitalization, do not forget play and wonder. Read the entire article here: https://lnkd.in/e6P3Y-wc

ASU's animating purpose is an unwavering commitment to taking responsibility: responsibility for the economic, social, cultural and overall health of the communities we serve. It's been (another) year of headlines that shook our trust in institutions — and higher ed continues to be viewed by many with distrust. Even with that, when we look deeper we find that more connects than separates us, and there is the possibility of looking to the future with tenable hope for a just and equitable world. https://lnkd.in/gn32-vCv

Today was a very productive day of learning financial literacy at Junior Achievement of Wisconsin Northwest Area Finance Park in Appleton, Wisconsin. Afterwards, we headed to the Green Bay Packers stadium for a phenomenal motivational speech from Rob Davis (Former Packer)/ Director of Organizational Development & Diversity/Equity & Inclusion. His story really touched the mentees and mentors. We also went on two tours (Heritage Trail Tour & Championship Tour) to learn more about the Packers overall history. Remember, “In order to create change, we must continue to create opportunities.”-D.B. #POP #ECASDDistrictWideChapter #DomesticTrip #GreenBay #Appleton #JAFinancePark #PackersTour #CreatingOpportunities #TurningDreamsIntoReality #changinglivesdaily
