🚨 Our paper on gender and racial representation on Missouri's municipal boards and commissions is now OUT IN PRINT in @PGI_WPSA! So excited to share this work with @anita_manion, Sapna Varkey, and David Kimball @UMSLPolisci. Here's what we found 🧵

[Jake Shaw @shawpolisci]

What can cities do? Partner with organizations like @unitedwe__, post board vacancies publicly, offer compensation or hybrid meetings, and actively recruit from underrepresented communities. Representation doesn't happen by accident.

@anita_manion and David Kimball were panelists in a webinar cosponsored by the nonpartisan Center for Election Innovation and Research and the Elections Group. Read about it here! https://t.co/eDwJsO4igC

Local boards are critical for communities, but they underrepresent women and people of color find @anita_manion, @shawpolisci, and David Kimball of @UMSLPoliSci and Sapna Varkey of @UNC https://t.co/jsf6oexBPI

📉Women and people of color are underrepresented on municipal boards and commissions in Missouri. Representation varies even more in leadership positions and "power boards." Read about this and more in our new article in Politics, Groups, and Identities.
