CITY OFFICIALS ARE EXECUTING DEVELOPERS AGREEMENTS BEFORE PUBLIC IS AWARE ? TAXATION WITHOUT REPRESENTATION? DISPARITY REPORT 2016 STATES. Redevelopment Authority] approved the goal over the objections of the Human Relations Department of I think 1.2 minority [participation] and 2.5 WBE [participation], when there was adequate availability of minority and women contractors to meet the City’s standard kind of goal of 15 [percent] and 7 [percent]. They’re diluting the opportunity for minority and women contractors when it comes through the statutory business development organizations, all of whom have different sets of rules..… There ought to be a uniform code that is incorporated in all the development agreements which people in our community never see.… There’s a disconnect. And I realize they’re trying to change some of that now but the insulting part of it was there was more money spent through statutory agencies last year for contracting activities than there were through City departments.… It’s obviously developer driven. By the time we see it the development agreement has already been executed. We’re having a big deal now both with the east patrol, the streetcar and the proposed 800 room convention center hotel. If it’s not in the development agreement there’s very little you can do at that point.… Kansas City’s an inclusive city. We’ve shown that over and over. It has sustained through white mayors, through black mayors, through female mayors. Yet, we allow the statutory organizations to dilute it.They have their own board[s] and they can do what they want.

It was truly an honor to participate in Latino Leaders Magazine C-Suite and Board Directors Forum last week, immersing myself in a community of inspiring individuals. During the event, I had the privilege of engaging in a fireside chat with @JorgeFerraez, the co-founder and publisher of Latino Leaders Magazine, where we delved into the crucial topic of leadership and drew insights from my 35-year journey at the helm of The Hollister Group.   Something I’ve been thinking about since last week, is it’s essential to recognize our shared humanity amidst this chaotic world. We are all on a quest to evolve into the best version of ourselves. The cornerstone of this journey is self-awareness—an indispensable tool for identifying our blind spots and fostering continuous growth. For me, the pursuit of self-awareness is not a destination but an ongoing journey. It's a reminder that, left unchecked, we may inadvertently perpetuate patterns that no longer serve what we are up to in our lives.    I truly feel self-awareness is one of the most critical leadership traits to work on as it can be a true game changer. In doing so, we contribute not only to our personal growth but also to a world that will undoubtedly benefit the growth of our families, communities, and organizations. 

What a fantastic example of females leading the way in finance! And shout out to my colleague Jack McCullough who is always one of the first to shine a light on the strategic contributions of women in the C-suite. Excited to hear these stories and gain advice from them at our 2 CFO conferences! Women Leaders CONNECT #leadership #finance
