On February 8, 2021, Carl Callender, ICD’s Veterans Coordinator, was selected to serve on the NYC Inclusive Growth Initiative steering committee. The committee, put together by New York City Employment and Training Coalition, ANHD, and Regional Plan Association, will develop an agenda for inclusive economic growth across NYC.
As a Marine Corps Reserve Veteran, 2017 Vassar Posse Veterans Scholar, and expert in workforce development, Carl brings a wealth of knowledge and perspective to the committee. Over the next few months, he, along with his fellow committee members, will create recommendations for inclusive and equitable systems of economic growth, with a focus on adding good jobs, expanding affordable housing, and reducing structural inequities. The steering committee will actively urge NYC mayoral candidates and the newly elected administration to implement their recommendations in the first 100 days in office.
