155 [S3E02]: James Sanders, Chair of the Commission on the Status of Black Males
We've had a number of guests who represent city commissions on this show. Today, our subject is the Commission on the Status of Black Males, a very busy board that hosts events at least six times a year, including their Outstanding Leaders of Tomorrow awards, their "Barbershop" health initiative, and the Million Father March at the beginning of each school year. Our guest is its chair, James Sanders. He's an award winner himself: for his involvement with the Commission, he won the 2024 Be More Phenomenal Award, presented to outstanding leadership through board, commission, or committee involvement by the City of Bloomington's Volunteer Network.
