Contact: Sally Leiderman

As more citizens of this country - in terms of numbers and diversity - become involved in public affairs, society has had to struggle with long-held notions of leadership. Although civic involvement is not new, recently there has been a recognition that the efforts of many residents in communities across this country which aim to improve the quality of life for children and families is, in fact, leadership. And it is this collaborative form of leadership - one that makes room for both sanctioned as well as indigenous leaders - that has successfully led to political and systemic change in several cities across the nation.
