Get to know one of our newest staff members, BHI network manager Kahdijah Lozada.

Earlier this spring, Civic Commons convened a new advisory board of six individuals who will help support our mission and provide input and guidance as we continue our work.

Civic Commons convened a group of more than 40 civic leaders on Jan. 16 to engage in a conversation around the updated Scorecard for Shared Prosperity.  

Civic muscle is about how we weave together and leverage the assets that we all bring to the table, based on the sector, institution or community we represent. It's recognizing that the challenges we face are complex — and that we cannot solve them alone.

Civic Commons and Black Home Initiative were proud to sponsor a recent author presentation by Richard Rothstein and his daughter and co-author Leah Rothstein. Richard, who wrote the 2017 book “The Color of Law,” laid the groundwork for the work that’s currently underway in the Puget Sound region. In a second book, “Just Action,” Richard and Leah outline tangible steps and strategies for local groups and communities.

No stranger to the work here at Civic Commons, we’re proud to spotlight another valued team member of the Civic Commons’ staff, Frank Nam. Frank leads the Belonging effort of Civic Commons through his role as the Project Director of We Belong Here.
