It takes strength, commitment, and guts to run for any political office. Aim’s podcast Run Like a Girl seeks to destroy the notion of weakness that is historically associated with this phrase by showcasing the strong female leaders in different levels of Indiana government. Join us as we shatter the myths about female leaders, dig deep into their challenges and advantages, understand what resources are needed to attract more women to these roles, and take back the misconception that running like a girl is a bad thing.
On today’s episode, Aim’s Jennifer Simmons and Erin Jamison-Koenig sit down with Carmel Mayor Sue Finkam. Mayor Finkam is a long-time Carmel resident, former City Council member and a nationally recognized leader ushering in a new era of innovation, inclusivity, and community engagement in one of America’s most livable mid-size cities. With a bold vision and strong local roots, she is focused on enhancing quality of place, supporting the local economy, and building a resilient future for all Carmel residents and businesses.
