Episode Synopsis
This episode launches a new podcast series focused on impacting community change through grassroots community leadership. In this series, we will shine the spotlight on local everyday community leaders. Each of the leaders we will talk to are graduates of the innovative Neighborhood Leadership Development Program in Cleveland. In this episode, to kick off the series, I’m joined by Mayor Michael R. White, who served the City of Cleveland for three terms from 1990 to 2002, and is the visionary and driving force behind NLDP. Mayor White is currently the Senior Policy Advisor at the Jack, Joseph and Morton Mandel Foundation and Program Director for NLDP. Prior to serving as Mayor, he held elected office as an Ohio State Senator and as Cleveland City Councilman. There is no more passionate advocate for cultivating the community change power of everyday home-grown leaders here in Cleveland than Michael White.
