Who gets to be a leader? In Baltimore, community members and social leaders recognized that the nonprofit sector had two issues when it comes to talent development: the qualifications of leadership were not inclusive, and organizations overlooked community members as the most important assets towards addressing the city’s most pressing issues.
Equitable leaders are “more than” their battles, they’re also the devotion they pour into communities and the way that love blossoms into tangible change and dreams within grasp. He was the epitome of the love that can come from growing in Baltimore, and is what love looks like in action.
Thursday, September 26th Baltimore Corps convened a conversation with community, civic and student leaders on the Kirwan Commission. Baltimore Corps C.E.O Fagan Harris welcomed the group and stated the goals of the conversation were to explicitly talk about racial equity and Baltimore city’s strategy in Annapolis.
"Especially in the current climate, even those who don’t personally share the daily struggles of many Baltimoreans are realizing that the health of a city is contingent on the prosperity of all its citizens."
