S4 EP3: Tacoma, the City of Destiny: A Conversation with Mayor Victoria Woodards

Creating Belonging in an organization is far easier when leadership is onboard. In this episode, Mayor Victoria Woodards exemplifies this throughout her work, background, and her hope for the City of Destiny. (Also, the City of Destiny has got to be one of the coolest nicknames out there)
