Why is the Diversity Dashboard project important to local government?
There is nothing like Diversity Dashboard out there. This is monumental and vital if we want our local governments to work better and be better by acknowledging their missteps in diversity practices. We need to back up our assumptions and frustrations of lack of diversity with data. On top of the data collection, we are bringing people together to discuss this issue and hearing diverse stories and perspectives.

If you were a professional baseball player, what would your on-deck song be? Why?
I love this question because I think about it all. the. time. Music is one of my biggest motivators and I use it really strategically while I’m working. I have probably a dozen possible on-deck songs, but the one speaking to me right now is Golden Age by TV on the Radio. It’s high energy and has a great message – let’s embrace the possibilities for good things on the horizon.
Why is the Diversity Dashboard project important to local government?
A growing data set on diversity in leadership truly has the potential to revolutionize local government. It is the first step in transforming effective representation in municipalities throughout the U.S. This project is a big undertaking–lots of work is being done to set up the data collection process and infrastructure, but the versatility of the data and the varieties of use are more than worth the effort it will require.
