Sheryl Davis has been a champion for positive community change throughout her life and career. Also central to her work—whether in her service as a nonprofit administrator, an educator, or a city leader—is the development of lasting and effective pathways to opportunity for all people, driven by the belief that community can only thrive when everyone has access to success, especially those groups who have long been pushed to the margins. Wide disparities between groups are unsustainable, and ignoring the potential and promise within all community members is to our collective detriment.
