These are the stories of our Neighborhood Leaders' life experiences here in Columbia

We are thankful to work with these 10 empowering individuals.

These leaders give voice to their neighbors’ perspectives and ideas so that they can influence important, upcoming transportation infrastructure and policy decisions.
