Best time of year- City Open House last Sat connecting with citizens/ employees families, yesterday teaching the current class of The 16/50 Project /future women leaders in City Gov't, & All Employee In-Service Monday focusing on our One City Mindset! What an energy boost!

.NFBPA National helped us close #WomensHistoryMonth strong - sharing how we’re making gender balance a reality for local gov in MI. Session featured Haley Snyder (City Mgr, Albion), Mariah Walton (City Mgr, Eastpointe), and Frances McMullan (City Mgr, Ypsilanti) - all program grads. 👏🏻

Women make up over 50% of Michigan’s population, but just 16% of the state's local chief admin officers.

Join @MMLeague's The 16/50 Project next Tuesday (3/29) and meet the force of women leading communities in Michigan.

With @FordSchool P3E, CLOSUP, and University of Michigan Democracy & Debate.

In honor #InternationalWomensDay I'm promoting the The 16/50 Project - having real results increasing the # of women in local govt executive positions through training, mentoring, and promotion of field. I remember when I thought women couldn't be CMs. I'm glad that is changing!

This #InternationalWomensDay , we're thinking about women leaders - especially the ones in local government. Together we're forging equity for women and paving the way for future leaders to come. Learn more at 1650project.org. #BreakTheBias #SheLeadsGov #IWD2022 @MMLeague
