Single issue voter here: The candidates that will get my vote for #NYCMayor will be ranked in order of how fast they will work to clear the city’s streets of 24/7 drag racing, loud engine idling and off-road vehicles. Enough is enough.

Today, too many #refugees are forced into a Faustian bargain of trading prosperity for physical safety in resettlement -- an unacceptable tradeoff, and one that costs us all dearly. #WithRefugees skyhive.ai/blog/refugees-…

Could we actually be approaching a 'soft landing'? Regardless of headlines announcing layoffs and pundits hand-wringing over animal spirits, we CANNOT take our eyes off the ball of upskilling people: to re-engage them, to retain them, and to advance them economically. #wkdev

#HireSTARsChat A2: Who's doing it right? Shoutout to Gov. Larry Hogan and the Maryland for eliminating degree requirements for civil service jobs. Government CAN and SHOULD be an engine of career mobility and upskilling; doing so also reinforces democratic norms (a 2-FER!)

#HireSTARsChat A3: What do we get from hiring STARs? We cannot credibly blame a tight labor market when we are actively filtering out candidates who are skilled for the job from consideration. Hiring STARs not only diversifies our workplaces, it expands our labor pool!

#HireSTARsChat Q4: Tell us about a STAR in your life: I am fortunate to be surrounded at SkyHive by Cornerstone by STAR colleagues - our company walks the talk in skills-based hiring, from bizdev to sales to customer success to product design. I am continually in awe of my coworkers!

#HireSTARsChat Q4: Tell us about a STAR in your life: My mother left college and went to work for the University of Texas System and stayed there her entire working lifetime. An Executive Assistant for over 35 years, with #upcredentialing today she likely wouldn't get hired.

#HireSTARsChat A5: How can we make 2023 THE year for STARs? I think govt hiring STARs + #wkdev training and placing jobseekers into local / state government and gov-funded roles +gov leveraging procurement for STARs like they do SWMBE are dominoes that will trigger a contagion.

In 2020, at the outset of the pandemic lockdowns, I began working out in my building's stairwell, climbing the 32 floors of my co-op in #TudorCity over and over. Today, I take those stairs most every day. And now, I've signed up for the Empire State Building Run-Up on 10/4/23!
