Montgomery Mayor Steven Reed, along with eight other mayors from across the U.S., has joined the advisory council for Accelerator for America, a nonprofit focused on finding, developing, sharing and scaling innovative solutions that expand economic opportunity in local communities.
“Montgomery’s work with AFA — from Insights Into Action to Data for Housing Solutions cohort — has opened new pathways to prosperity for our small business owners and residents,” said Reed. “I look forward to building on this partnership and sharing proven models and fresh ideas that can expand equitable economic opportunity in cities across the nation.”
AFA’s advisory council also includes Birmingham Mayor Randall Woodfin, as well as other mayors and leaders in business, labor, philanthropy, nonprofit and public policy.
“This passionate and action-focused group of local leaders will offer fresh perspectives and expertise on the most pressing challenges our communities are facing, from housing, infrastructure and transportation to economic and workforce development,” said Mary Ellen Wiederwohl, AFA president and CEO.
