It takes strength, commitment, and guts to run for any political office. Aim’s new 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 COO Jennifer Simmons sits down with Kristin Bean, Executive Director of the Alliance of Indiana Rural Water. With a diverse career spanning local government, the hospitality industry, and the non-profit sector, Kristin leads strategic initiatives, oversees daily operations, and drives organizational growth at the Alliance. Kristin is a registered lobbyist and holds a Bachelor of Science in Resort & Hospitality Management from FGCU.
