The report, Who Runs New York City?- An Analysis of Senior Management at NYC Agencies, is a demographic analysis of twenty-five Commissioners and their Executive Deputy Commissioners who manage New York City agencies.
This document provides a literature review on factors that may influence how mayors of different races approach gentrification and urban redevelopment. It discusses three perspectives from the existing literature: 1) the economic and social conditions of the cities where mayors govern, 2) the racial makeup and politics of those cities, and 3) the types of coalitions mayors form. However, the literature is criticized for focusing only on black mayors in distressed cities and not considering black mayors who govern economically strong cities. The author proposes examining specific redevelopment plans of black and white mayors in similar city contexts to determine if racial differences exist independent of city conditions. A research design is outlined to conduct a qualitative comparative case study analysis of mayoral terms
Civil_Society_Democarcy_and_Governance_in_South_Asia_Issues_Constraints_and_E...Dr.Sonam Dixit
This document discusses the role of civil society in democracy and governance in South Asia. It makes the following key points:
1. Civil society has played an important role in restoring democracy in countries like Pakistan, Bangladesh, and Nepal through democratic movements.
2. However, civil society organizations in South Asia still face challenges like being divided along ethnic, religious and regional lines. They also tend to lack independence from political parties and governments.
3. For civil society to strengthen democracy and governance, it needs to become more representative, address issues of good governance, and hold governments accountable in an objective manner. Overcoming issues like political influence and regional divisions will help civil society play a more effective role.
A review of the five territories on the national activity mapSUN&FZ Associates
The document discusses civil society and its role in Pakistan. It argues that most civil society leaders promoted by the media are sponsored by international donors and do not genuinely represent people. It says Pakistan lacks true civil society leaders who work independently to serve people. The document also analyzes Pakistan's national activity map consisting of social, political, economic, diplomatic and military territories. It argues leadership failures in these territories have led to social unrest in the country.
This document discusses issues facing state and local governments in providing services to urban communities, and proposes regionalism as a solution. It summarizes the "Place Matters" initiative which argues for moving impoverished people to mixed areas and regional coordination of programs. The author argues regionalism would help close economic and political divides in New Jersey by deconcentrating urban poverty across wider areas through policies like housing voucher expansion, tax base sharing between localities, and coordinating housing, jobs and transportation programs regionally. Critics argue racism is the primary issue, but the author believes regionalism can help reduce biases over time by creating more interracial communities with shared economic interests.

This document provides a baseline report on equity and inclusion in Somerville, Massachusetts. It analyzes internal city data that shows racial disparities in city leadership positions, with 96% of department heads being white despite only 74% of the population being white. It also summarizes feedback from community conversations identifying priorities like addressing gentrification, diversifying city leadership, and creating inclusive housing. The report aims to establish Somerville's current status on equity issues and provide recommendations to advance equity across the community.
This document discusses civil society and governance in the Democratic Republic of Congo. It begins with introducing the concepts of civil society and defining it as the sphere between the state, family, and market that includes organizations like NGOs, community groups, and unions. It then provides background on DRC's political context, emerging from dictatorship in the 1990s. The document goes on to further define civil society and governance, discussing how civil society can influence governance through collective action and advocacy. It aims to analyze the Congolese civil society environment and challenges, and make recommendations to strengthen its role in governance.
Politics, informality and clientelism - exploring a pro-poor urban politicsDr Lendy Spires
This document discusses clientelism in urban politics in the global south and how organized groups of urban poor have sought to transform clientelist relationships. It begins by providing context on urban poverty, politics, and the prevalence of informal settlements. It then discusses definitions of clientelism and perspectives on it, noting it is typically characterized by an unequal exchange between political elites and urban poor communities for resources. The document explores four goals of organized urban poor groups: negotiating bureaucratic changes; managing conflict; mitigating vertical political relations; and transforming resource-based approaches. It argues these ultimately aim for greater legitimacy of the urban poor and increased political accountability.

This document summarizes a paper that examines the social relations and associations within Kenya's informal sector. It finds that the informal sector is not disorganized, but rather people mobilize social networks and associations to fulfill important functions. These include organizing society, coordinating markets, and roles in production, consumption, distribution, protection and social transformation. The associations are guided by norms and values and also play a role in mobilizing social finances, providing basic services and negotiating for social justice. The paper argues that policies aimed at the informal sector should seek to understand and build upon these existing social institutions rather than impose formalization strategies.
Race and the Role of Government - Public Works PublicWorks
This document discusses strategies for reclaiming government as a tool for racial justice. It argues that government has both exacerbated inequities and advanced justice and equity. It acknowledges the historical and structural racism embedded in public systems. The document outlines several strategies, including critiquing public systems constructively while upholding their purpose, avoiding "otherizing" language, unpacking interconnected systems of inequity, widening the circle of concern, and focusing on places rather than individual groups. The goal is to engage communities in rebuilding government for the common good.
This document provides an overview of a study examining human services nonprofits located in poor neighborhoods in Los Angeles County. The study found that these nonprofits tend to be small and under-resourced, relying primarily on private donations. They provide basic needs services, youth programs, and clinical care. However, 24% of census tracts have no established nonprofits, creating "service deserts" with high poverty and social vulnerabilities. Government funding cuts have further challenged these organizations' ability to meet community needs.
Social Capital, Civic Engagement And The Performancecrrcaz
1. The document analyzes social capital and civic engagement in local municipalities in Azerbaijan, based on surveys conducted in Baku, Khachmaz, and Masalli regions.
2. It finds that social ties and trust are weaker in cities like Baku compared to rural districts, contributing to lower civic participation. Respondents reported more engagement with rural municipalities than urban ones.
3. Recommendations to improve municipalities include fair elections, better personnel selection, increased funding, and building social capital and civic traditions to strengthen communities and civic engagement.

Bureaucracy and the challenge to participatory local governance | pa times on...Steve Harding
The document discusses the tension between bureaucracy and participatory democracy in local governance. It argues that while bureaucracies focus on efficiency and expertise, democratic values like civic engagement and public participation are equally important. Historically, bureaucracies have distanced themselves from the public they serve, but they must prioritize civic discourse as much as performance to maintain public trust. The bureaucracy needs to share power with the public and facilitate constructive participation, rather than view the public narrowly as customers or subjects.
This document discusses governance in India and proposes ways to improve it. It covers several topics:
- India retained the British governance system after independence but reforms were needed.
- Attempts at reforms did not succeed due to inertia and resistance to change.
- The judiciary has helped advance accountability and rights but faces issues like delays and corruption.
- Civil society organizations promote social causes but some lack professional management.
- Improving emotional intelligence through training may help change attitudes and mindsets, enabling better governance. Developing self-awareness, self-regulation, and other emotional skills could complement existing technical training programs.

1. The document discusses research into community groups operating "below the radar" without formal registration or large budgets. These groups have received little research attention despite their grassroots activities.
2. It defines "below the radar" groups as those without charity registration and budgets under £10,000-£35,000 that are outside of local directories and funding radars. The research aims to map and understand these understudied community groups.
3. The research will explore how policy changes like the "Big Society" agenda have impacted different types of below the radar groups, finding early indications of loss of support for some wellbeing groups.

This document discusses research into how Americans perceive government and strategies for building public support for government. The research found that Americans primarily view government negatively as "just politics", a "mindless bureaucracy", or a "vending machine". However, when reminded of government's mission to achieve shared values and shown the systems and structures that comprise government, people can engage more constructively. The document recommends focusing on government's purpose of upholding values like the common good, highlighting the roles only government can play, and providing concrete examples of government systems. It also suggests emphasizing civic thinking over a consumer mindset by stressing interdependence and shared ownership of government. Changing the conversation in this way can overcome the dominant negative narratives and build understanding of
This document summarizes the key events and discussions around three United Nations conferences on economic and social development issues:
1) The upcoming Rio+20 conference in June 2012, where over 120 heads of state are hoped to commit to implementing sustainable development goals. Negotiations on the outcome document are intensifying in the lead up to the conference.
2) The 11th annual session of the UN Committee of Experts on Public Administration focused on empowering local governance and increasing transparency, accountability, and citizen engagement.
3) A youth employment conference discussed innovations and new business models to promote youth job opportunities. Partnerships between governments, businesses, and organizations were emphasized to tackle global youth unemployment.
This document discusses civil society and its ability to reduce inequality. It argues that while civil society can push back against market forces to some degree, the state is ultimately needed to meaningfully reduce inequality through mechanisms like redistribution, social insurance programs, investing in public goods, and regulating opportunities. Power resources theory holds that collective actors like unions and left-leaning political parties can gain power and influence policy by mobilizing disadvantaged groups, but these actors have been struggling in recent decades. Rising inequality itself undermines political participation and the effectiveness of redistributive policies over time.
The document summarizes the goals and activities of the Centrist Democratic Movement (CDM) in the Lambigit region of Northern Mindanao, Philippines. It discusses the CDM's vision of building solidarity and subsidiarity through grassroots participation. It outlines the CDM's growth in membership and activities from 2010 to 2011, including empowering district councils, holding assemblies, and developing local leaders. The summary highlights the CDM's focus on centrist democratic ideology and human dignity to transform society through an active and committed new generation of leaders.
Good governance involves decision making processes and their implementation. It requires legitimacy, accountability, competence, and respect for human rights. Domestic reform strategies to reduce corruption include reforming incentives, enforcement, and civil service. E-governance requires fundamental government changes like online services. Good corporate governance evaluates leadership, ethics, social responsibility, and performance. Examples of good Indian governance include Tata Steel and Infosys' practices. India can improve through agriculture, energy, and public-private partnerships.
The document discusses ways that Barbados can create a more humane society based on principles from Pope Benedict's encyclical "Charity in Truth". It recommends constitutional reforms like abolishing the Senate, reforming the public sector to be more efficient, developing the third sector through organizations like NGOs, and creating a think tank to address challenges like climate change. It also stresses the need to address Barbados' growing underclass through improved social policies and middle class involvement to bring more into the mainstream of society.
Urban planning and design gender-inclusive WB 2020PatrickTanz
This document is an executive summary of the World Bank Handbook for Gender-Inclusive Urban Planning and Design. It outlines that urban planning and design have historically reinforced gender inequities by not considering the needs of women, girls, and gender minorities. However, planning and design processes that actively include these groups can help create more equitable cities. The summary then provides an overview of the handbook's goals to demonstrate how gender impacts the built environment, make the case for gender-inclusive practices, and provide practical guidelines for processes and projects. It concludes by stating that gender-inclusive planning and design can advance gender equity and economic/social development for all.
This document discusses the importance of good governance for the flourishing of society and nations. It defines key concepts related to good governance like justice, equality, transparency, and concludes that good governance relies on relating its key components like rule of law, accountability, and transparency between individuals in society.

This article discusses active citizenship as a remedy to the national crisis in the Philippines. It argues that active citizenship can help address the democratic deficit and lack of meaningful public participation in decision-making. Active citizenship aims to empower citizens by engaging governmental institutions and promoting reforms to make political and economic structures more participatory. A key feature is a strong civil society where people and organizations pursue their interests while also working towards a common good. This helps decentralize power and bring decision-making closer to local communities. While formal democratic representation would still exist, active citizenship seeks to create public forums to supplement these structures and give more organizations a stake in the political process. Overall, active citizenship can help develop a culture that transcends current flaws in the system
Recentering Democracy Around Citizens Multimedia ReportMatt Leighninger
How might we redesign local democracy around the day-to-day goals and concerns of citizens? A set of leaders in civic engagement, including representatives of national associations that represent local officials, school systems, funders, and other leaders, met in early 2010 to compare notes on their work in communities and discuss possibilities for innovation. This report describes their discussion and recommendations.

Recentering Democracy Around Citizens Multimedia ReportMatt Leighninger
How might we redesign local democracy around the day-to-day goals and concerns of citizens? A set of leaders in civic engagement, including representatives of national associations that represent local officials, school systems, funders, and other leaders, met in early 2010 to compare notes on their work in communities and discuss possibilities for innovation. This report describes their discussion and recommendations.
This document discusses the potential for grassroots civic engagement and public participation (P2) to address issues facing communities. It notes declining trust in government and challenges like climate change, housing, and inequality. However, P2 processes that meaningfully involve the public in decision-making can help communities invest in their future without relying on national government. Examples show how P2 has led to revitalization efforts, land use reforms, and design improvements. The document argues that citizen architects and coalitions can use P2 and advocacy campaigns to drive positive change from the local level up.
The document is a final report and action plan from RocCity Coalition that outlines their vision for Greater Rochester to be an attractive community for young professionals by 2025. The report discusses findings from a survey of over 700 young professionals that identified key issues related to demographics, housing, employment, education, lifestyle/mobility, and community connections. It then outlines research conducted, including focus groups and benchmarking other cities, to further analyze these issues and understand young professional perspectives. The report proposes that addressing these issues through civic engagement, policy changes, and community development initiatives could help attract, retain, and empower young professionals in Rochester over the next decade.
This document discusses strategies for sustaining civic engagement. It identifies barriers to participation such as lack of civics education and voter suppression. It describes a spectrum of civic actions from lightweight to heavyweight. Tactical actions are reactive while strategic actions work to implement long-term policy goals. Sustaining engagement requires countering fatigue, recognition for contributions, gamification, civic education, connecting actions to daily life, building community, and empowerment.
웨버 샌드윅, 아태지역 주요도시의
소프트 파워(Soft Power) 분석 보고서 발표
글로벌 최대 규모의 PR 커뮤니케이션 기업 웨버 샌드윅(Weber Shandwick)은 아시아 태평양지역의 도시 브랜드 명성에 영향을 미치는 ‘소프트 파워(soft power)’의 중요성과 각 요소 별 기여도를 분석한 ‘인게이징 시티(Engaging Cities: the Growing Relevance of Soft Power to City Reputations in Asia Pacific)’ 보고서를 2014년 12월 11일 아▪태지역 8개 국가에서 동시에 발표하였습니다.
웨버 샌드윅이 발표한 ‘인게이징 시티’ 보고서는 서울, 동경, 방콕, 상하이, 시드니, 싱가포르, 쿠알라 룸푸르, 홍콩 총 8개의 아시아 태평양 지역의 주요 도시를 대상으로 정치, 경제, 군사력과 별개로 도시 브랜드 명성 수립에 영향을 미치는 소프트 파워 요소에 대해 분석 하였습니다. 보고서가 주목한 소프트파워 16가지 주요 요소는 관광, 식문화, 성평등, 정치, 예술과 문화, 미디어, 건축과 디자인, 스포츠, 레저, 금융, 교육, 환경, 음악, 소셜 미디어, 생활 수준 등을 아우르고 있습니다.
웨버 샌드윅은 자매사인 KRC 리서치와 공동으로 총 4,147명의 8개 대상 도시 거주민에게 온라인 설문을 진행했으며, 총 20명의 미디어, 디자인, 건축, 문화, 유통, 스포츠 등 다양한 분야의 전문가 20명과 심층 인터뷰를 토대로 리포트를 완성 하였습니다.
해당 ‘인게이징 시티’ 보고서는 도시 별 명성에 영향을 주는 소프트 파워 요소 5가지로 독자성(Identity), 지역색(Neighbourhoods), 시민의 자부심(Citizen Advocacy), 창의력(The Creative Classes) 그리고 민중의 힘(People Power)를 꼽았습니다.
1. 독자성 (Identity)
강력한 국가 브랜드 파워가 오히려 도시만의 독자적인 명성 구축에 도움이 방해가 될 수 있다. 도시가 계획하는 명성을 성공적으로 구축하기 위해서는 국가 브랜드 파워 요소와 해당 도시만의 지역적 독자성 간의 균형을 유지하는 것이다.
2. 지역색 (Neighbourhoods)
특정 지역의 거주자와 비거주자 모두에게 영향을 주는 다양하고 독특한 문화적 요소들을 뜻하는 지역색은 도시만의 색깔이 가장 잘 드러나며, 사람들이 지역적 성향과 상응하는 특징적 요소들을 직접 보고 경험할 수 있는 요소다. 사람들의 관심을 높이고, 개인적인 연관성을 키울 수 있는 지역색은 도시만의 특별한 색깔의 명성을 구축하는데 도움이 될 것이다.

Jednym z najistotniejszych czynników w kreowaniu reputacji miast jest tzw. „miękka władza” (ang. soft power), czyli reputacja danego miasta nieuwzględniająca prowadzonej polityki, poziomu ekonomii czy ilości organów porządku i bezpieczeństwa publicznego.
Die Engaging Cities Studie untersucht die Reputation von acht Städten im Asia-Pacific-Raum, wie Marken und Führungsverantwortliche diesen Ruf im In- und Ausland weiter ausbauen können und warum es immer wichtiger wird, sich auf den Auf- und Ausbau der städtischen Reputation zu konzentrieren.
1) Only 36% of millennials surveyed globally believe they live in a youthful city, with the lowest percentage in Africa at 28.6%.
2) Millennials do not view their municipal governments or mayors as youthful, with only 16% seeing them as such. Just 17% feel their governments listen to them.
3) There is a disconnect between what priorities millennials want cities to focus on and what governments actually focus on. 55% of millennials would participate in meetings about their city's future but feel unheard.
Foreign Policy for an Urban World: Global Governance and the Rise of Citiesatlanticcouncil
In the latest FutureScape issue brief from the Brent Scowcroft Center on International Security's Strategic Foresight Initiative, author Peter Engelke discusses the long-term economic, environmental, and policy implications of urbanization. Entitled "Foreign Policy for an Urban World: Global Governance and the Rise of Cities," the brief examines how urbanization is hastening the global diffusion of power and how cities themselves are increasingly important nodes of power in global politics.

How does the study of Urban Geography contribute to our understanding of the nature of the city? of the possibilities of the ideal city? How does theology interface with urban geography?
This document provides an introduction and overview of the report "Vital Difference: The Role of Race in Building Community". The report was created through a collaboration between the Center for Reflective Community Practice at MIT and five community organizations. It examines how race plays a role in building inclusive communities and democratic participation. The report acknowledges that practitioner knowledge from communities facing injustice and inequality is essential for understanding and addressing social problems. It also recognizes that ignoring issues of race has hindered efforts to create a more just and equitable society.
The annual report summarizes the activities of Apathy is Boring, a nonprofit focused on increasing youth civic engagement and voter turnout in Canada. In the past year, they reached over 10,000 youth directly and over 73,000 online. Their programs engaged youth through workshops, events, and social media campaigns around four provincial and municipal elections. They also provided tools and consulting to help other organizations better engage youth in decision making. Looking ahead, they plan to run their fifth federal election campaign to continue addressing declining youth voter turnout in Canada.
This document discusses the importance of public participation and democratic urbanism for community health and city planning. It provides examples of how inclusive community engagement processes have led to positive placemaking outcomes, such as transforming derelict areas into active public spaces with gardens and cultural assets. Truly collaborative approaches that involve citizens in decision making from the beginning help address issues of apathy and opposition, build social capital, and create places that reflect community values. In contrast, top-down "smart city" projects and an "orgy of public process" can undermine urban democracy and civic empowerment. When cities leverage culture and citizen ideas, remarkable impacts on people and communities are possible.
The document discusses the differences between managers and leaders using examples of notable historical figures like Mahatma Gandhi, Martin Luther King Jr., and Bill Gates. It states that leaders influence others through inspiration and vision, while managers focus on power and authority. Leaders leave a lasting legacy through their words and influence on generations, and the examples given for each leader highlight traits like passion, challenging the status quo, compassion, and oration skills that enabled their leadership. Bill Gates in particular demonstrated focus, thinking big, passion for learning, and using his wealth and influence to give back through his philanthropic foundation.

The original bureaucracy has often been called a “government by gentlemen,” which persisted through the Jeffersonian era. Bureaucrats were thought to be public-spirited, independently established farmers or merchants who could put aside their own interests for a while to serve the public good. Thomas Jefferson, Albert Gallatin, and Alexander Hamilton all fit this mold—none of them ever made a dishonest dollar from public service.
By the 1820s, fraud was creeping into the executive departments, which in turn contributed to the Jacksonian revolution and a sea change in how the bureaucracy was staffed. Andrew Jackson believed that government by gentlemen had degenerated into rampant corruption, tilting public policy away from the interests of all the people (or at least his main constituency in the West) towards the elites. He instituted “rotation in office” as a tool to clean out the bureaucracy and make it more reflective of the general public, and hoped more responsive to the public good. But rotation in office soon became the corrupt “spoils system,” facilitating the graft and mismanagement that characterized the federal government during the Gilded Age of the late 19th century.
More reforms would follow over the years, giving rise to the apolitical bureaucracy that we have today. Today there is one member of Congress for approximately every 5,150 civilian members of the executive branch, making it impossible for representatives to keep track of all bureaucrats. And if they cannot keep track, what is to stop the worst fears of Andrew Jackson from being realized?
The Internal Revenue Service’s targeting of conservative groups raises more questions about the nature of our government that the public has ignored for generations. It’s high time to revisit the issue of how the people can maintain control over those who are supposed to do their business. The targeting of conservative organizations by the Internal Revenue Service suggests that this risk is not insignificant. Career bureaucrats there—presumed to be above politics—unduly went after Tea Party groups, effectively denying them their constitutional right to equal protection, for years. All the while, Congress did nothing. The agency’s inspector general failed to blow the whistle in a timely fashion. The media overlooked the many transgressions.

About Potato, The scientific name of the plant is Solanum tuberosum (L).Christina Parmionova
The potato is a starchy root vegetable native to the Americas that is consumed as a staple food in many parts of the world. Potatoes are tubers of the plant Solanum tuberosum, a perennial in the nightshade family Solanaceae. Wild potato species can be found from the southern United States to southern Chile

Combined Illegal, Unregulated and Unreported (IUU) Vessel List.Christina Parmionova
The best available, up-to-date information on all fishing and related vessels that appear on the illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing vessel lists published by Regional Fisheries Management Organisations (RFMOs) and related organisations. The aim of the site is to improve the effectiveness of the original IUU lists as a tool for a wide variety of stakeholders to better understand and combat illegal fishing and broader fisheries crime.
To date, the following regional organisations maintain or share lists of vessels that have been found to carry out or support IUU fishing within their own or adjacent convention areas and/or species of competence:
Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR)
Commission for the Conservation of Southern Bluefin Tuna (CCSBT)
General Fisheries Commission for the Mediterranean (GFCM)
Inter-American Tropical Tuna Commission (IATTC)
International Commission for the Conservation of Atlantic Tunas (ICCAT)
Indian Ocean Tuna Commission (IOTC)
Northwest Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (NAFO)
North East Atlantic Fisheries Commission (NEAFC)
North Pacific Fisheries Commission (NPFC)
South East Atlantic Fisheries Organisation (SEAFO)
South Pacific Regional Fisheries Management Organisation (SPRFMO)
Southern Indian Ocean Fisheries Agreement (SIOFA)
Western and Central Pacific Fisheries Commission (WCPFC)
The Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List merges all these sources into one list that provides a single reference point to identify whether a vessel is currently IUU listed. Vessels that have been IUU listed in the past and subsequently delisted (for example because of a change in ownership, or because the vessel is no longer in service) are also retained on the site, so that the site contains a full historic record of IUU listed fishing vessels.
Unlike the IUU lists published on individual RFMO websites, which may update vessel details infrequently or not at all, the Combined IUU Fishing Vessel List is kept up to date with the best available information regarding changes to vessel identity, flag state, ownership, location, and operations.

Board Summary
As the founding board of Build-the-Bench, we are guided by our vision of a government that
reflects its residents — those of varying experiences, skill sets, identities, and ethnicities. We understand
that representation matters, in its ability to add diverse voices to decision-making, as well as the impact
it has on our youth who benefit greatly from seeing themselves reflected in positions of power. The many,
varied, unique communities throughout New York City deserve to feel that they have a welcoming seat
at the table.
However, New York City, a majority minority city and one of the most diverse on the planet, despite its
large, talented, and diverse population, has embarrassingly failed to ensure that this diversity is reflected
among its top leadership. In fact, out of the 109 mayors to date, all have been men, and only one has
been non-white. And while electoral government reflects the popular will of the people — a will that has
obviously evolved over time and advanced with the liberalization of hearts and minds — elected leaders
have the responsibility to build a government that closely reflects and represents all. In order to do so,
elected officials must commit to advancing more people of color to leadership roles throughout every
level of government.
Thus, it is our mission as an organization to bridge the gap between government and the
industries in which our communities often lend their talents. Oftentimes, young professionals —
especially those of color — find themselves outside of the world of government and politics. Whether it
be a lack of financial access, a cultural disconnect, or the pressure from the previous generation to seek
more lucrative careers, an interest in the world around us does not always translate into seeking a
professional career in public service. At Build-the-Bench, we have challenged ourselves to challenge
our peers to step outside of the traditional barriers that often prevent more people of color from
engaging in government. We see it as our duty to help our community to see the value they bring to
public service, no matter their current profession.
As vital as it is, however, to convince young professionals of color of their value to public service, we
must also ensure we are holding government accountable in their responsibility to make space for our
communities. It is for that reason that we issue the following report, Who Runs New York City? An
Analysis of Senior Management at NYC Agencies, in an effort to highlight where our leaders have
fallen short in the critical responsibility of creating a government for the people, by the people, and —
we’d argue, most importantly — of the people.
It is our hope that as the many candidates for the various New York City elected offices begin to make
their case to over 8 million New Yorkers, that each will review and internalize the findings of this report,
and pledge to ensure a similar report need not ever be written about New York City government ever
again.
3. 1
In late 2019, a group of government and political practitioners recognized that in order to advance
systemic public policy changes, we must empower a new generation of civic-minded individuals and, as
such, Build-the-Bench was founded. Build-the-Bench is a network of professionals who are creating
a new ecosystem for people of color to organize and mobilize in New York. We believe we are in
the midst of a political evolution, and that together, we can create new ways of governing in New
York that invites more people of color to gather, talk, teach and build.
As governments seek to be responsive to the public’s demands for change, it is vital that new and
emerging leaders from all walks of life find the value in engaging in the political process, and that they
are fully equipped with the access necessary to do so.
Build-the-Bench asks that young professionals from various fields and experiences recognize that their
unique skills are transferable to government and politics; and that those in positions of power see the
value our communities bring to the table — whether or not those paths are traditional. We reject the old
notion that some of us just “don’t do politics,” and instead encourage each of us to bring our whole selves
to the decision-making table in order to engage in the process of creating public policy that far too often
disproportionately impacts people of color.
Our commitment to empowering a new generation of government leaders led us to evaluate the
current ethnic makeup of New York City government officials. We evaluated the demographics of
twenty-five Commissioners and their Executive Deputy Commissioners who manage New York City
agencies. For the purposes of this analysis, when we mention Executive Deputy Commissioner we are
referring to the second senior position within the agency.
Black Representation:
Our evaluation and analysis of these twenty-five NYC agencies finds that Black women are
disproportionately underrepresented in the highest levels of management. At the time of research, this
report found that Black women are represented in just one Commissioner-level position. The agency
leader is New York City Department of Housing Preservation Development (HPD) Commissioner Louise
Carroll; though while drafting this report, the Mayor promoted Melanie Hartzog, Director of Office of
Management and Budget (OMB), to a Deputy Mayor position. This promotion of Director Hartzog is the
first time a Black woman was promoted to Deputy Mayor under the Mayor’s tenure. Similarly, this report
found that Black women are represented at just three of the twenty-five agencies in the second most
senior position within the department. Baaba Halm serves as the Executive Deputy Commissioner at
HPD; and, in the absence of a typical second-in-command, two black women, Deputy Commissioner of
Juvenile Operations Gineen Gray and Deputy Commissioner of Adult Operations Sharun Goodwin, serve
in lateral positions at the Department of Probation (DOP). The Department of Citywide Administrative
Services (DCAS) has a similar dual Executive Deputy Commissioner structure and Dawn M. Pinnock
serves as one of the agencies Executive Deputy Commissioners.
4. 1
Currently, four Black men serve as
Commissioners: the Office of Management and
Budget’s (OMB) Jacques Jiha, the Law
Department’s (Law) James E. Johnson, the
Department of Parks & Recreation’s (Parks)
Mitchell J. Silver, and the Department of Small
Business Services’ (SBS) Jonnel Doris. Black
men comprised of three positions within the
number two role at these agencies: Quintin
Haynes at the Department of Citywide
Administrative Services (DCAS) serves in a dual
Executive Deputy Commissioner position alongside Dawn M. Pinnock, Donald Conyers as First Deputy
Chancellor at the Department of Education (DOE), and Kenneth Knuckles serves as Vice Chairman of
the City Planning Commission.
Latinx Representation:
There are currently five Latinas serving as Commissioners: Lorraine Cortés-Vázquez at the Department
for the Aging (DFTA), Lisette Camilo at the Department of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS),
Lorelei Salas at the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP), Marisa Lago serves as
the Mayoral appointed Chairperson of the City Planning Commission (CPC), and Ana M. Bermúdez at
the Department of Probation (DOP). Only one Latina serves as the second most senior official, and that
is Sandra Abeles at the Department of Consumer and Worker Protection (DCWP).
Latino men are represented in two Commissioner positions: the Chancellor of the Department of
Education (DOE) Richard A. Carranza and Gonzalo Casals of the Department of Cultural Affairs (DCLA).
Our analysis concluded that zero Latino men serve as a deputy executive of any of the twenty-
five agencies.
Deputy Executive Commissioners:
Although the combination of white men and white women hold eleven Commissioner positions,
the same racial demographic makes up seventeen of the twenty-eight agencies or 60% of the
roles. The Executive Deputy Commissioner positions represent twenty-eight positions although we
reviewed twenty-five agencies because of dual Executive Deputy Commissioner role at the Department
of Citywide Administrative Services (DCAS) and the tri- Executive Deputy Commissioner role at
Department of Probation (DOP)
Black men comprised roughly 11.1% of New York City’s
population but represented 16% of the Commissioners
this is compared to the larger Black women population of
roughly 13% but only represented 4% of the
Commissioner positions. Collectively, Black men and Black
women are represented in only 6 NYC agencies as the
Executive Commissioner position.
5. 1
Conclusion:
In the coming weeks, the Build-the-Bench
team will publicly release our "Commit to
Diversity" campaign. The campaign will seek
to engage the 2021 municipal candidates to
ensure they are committed to reflect diversity
within their respective offices and the city
agencies. We understand, public policies
impacting our communities and the network
are debated and implemented within the city
agencies. As such, Build-the-Bench will
EDUCATE our network on candidates who
commit to our diversity campaign, we will
ADVOCATE for Black and LatinX leaders to
be in the room where public policy decisions
are made, and lastly, we will CULTIVATE
those Black and LatinX leaders through
recruitment.
