Doing that thing one does @TheCityClub - thinking about gnarly things - Space is where problems are solved - the farther you move away from place and space, the more it metastasizes and gets increasingly complex and unsolvable. Thanks @lilliankuri and @RipRapson - wow! So much.

[Adaora Schmiedl @schmiedlibe]

Amen. A reason to get up every morning - my colleague Staci Wampler talking about the power & difference of ERN onsite coaching @TheCityClub - employers are connecting to people who often do not have access to good manufacturing jobs: & people & business is succeeding!

[Adaora Schmiedl @schmiedlibe]

Impactful convo happening @TheCityClub. Thinking about fair housing as Reentry Redlining- keeping people with justice involvement out of neighborhoods & communities - even though data proves criminal involvement is NOT a predictor of a good tenant. Yusuf Dahl is bringing it!

[Adaora Schmiedl @schmiedlibe]

At @TheCityClub 2 things I am sitting with: can AI be a tool to eliminate or reinforce bias? Can AI work to identify fit & support true skill based hiring efforts by opening a recruiting pipeline for communities traditionally screened out? @TowardsEmploy team glad to be here.

[Adaora Schmiedl @schmiedlibe]

[Greater Cleveland Food Bank @CleFoodBank]

Thank you to everyone who attended the ribbon cutting for our new Community Resource Center! With a free healthy choice market and assistance with housing, employment, and healthcare, we are addressing the root causes of food insecurity.

[Adaora Schmiedl @schmiedlibe]

Surprised by this - if outcomes demonstrate a company sees each individual - not to changes an individual - how does that effect compensation or manager rewards? Brain working overtime @TheCityClub forum on Systems Change in Workforce - thanks @TowardsEmploy for invite.

[Towards Employment @TowardsEmploy]

This hurts my heart. From a personal and professional lens. Andre Ward @TheCityClub says over 50% of people in Rikers Island are experiencing mental illness. Why is incarceration the solution?

[Adaora Schmiedl @schmiedlibe]

“If you are not driven by the injustice of mass incarceration or racial inequity, you are probably driven by COST!” What will it take to revamp/eliminate cash bail in @CuyahogaCounty when it is so unequivocallly wrong & costly? The Bail Project here for the struggle @TheCityClub

[Adaora Schmiedl @schmiedlibe]

Sometimes it feels money can grow on trees - @ohioBailProject assisted 1000 people to pay bail, saving justice system 100,000 days & $7M vs $850K that cash bail would bring in. How to fix this? - Robin Steinberg, Founder, The Bail Project got some ideas at @TheCityClub today.

[Adaora Schmiedl @schmiedlibe]

“When cash bail can derail a person’s life, health, employment, family and so much more - it’s time to pay attention” Preach David Gaspar CEO, The Bail Project! @TheCityClub pulls together a topic that needs time & attention - also part of @TowardsEmploy policy/advocacy plan
