Join me for this week’s conversation with Leslie Richards, General Manager of SEPTA (Southeastern Pennsylvania Transit Authority). Having risen through the ranks of Township Supervisor, County Commissioner, Secretary of PA Dept. of Transportation to General Manager, Leslie has modeled a path of leadership for women that has consistently focused on raising up others, advocating for equity, and facilitating real and lasting change. Tune into today’s episode to hear more about her journey through leadership as well as how she is showing up to her current challenge of serving as the white female head of the region’s transit system that employs 60% minority workers two months before the outbreak of a global pandemic and the killing of George Floyd.
