Von Seldeneck: Philadelphia must embrace change, collaboration to unlock full potential
Philadelphia has always been a city of firsts, from the first public library to the first zoo.
Now, it’s time for us to add another feather to our cap with the first female mayor. As Cherelle Parker breaks through glass ceilings, she brings with her a fresh perspective and a determination to create a culture that fosters growth and prosperity. This isn’t just a political milestone, it’s a call to action for the business community to step up and support this wave of change.
Gone are the days of siloed efforts and fragmented initiatives. It’s time for businesses, community organizations, education institutions, and not-for-profits to come together and join forces. Because, let’s face it, we’re stronger together. Collaboration will be the secret sauce that propels us forward and ensures our success.
We still have a long road ahead of us, but let’s acknowledge how far we’ve come. In the midst of recession worries and a global pandemic, Philadelphia has weathered the storm. The grip of Covid-19 is loosening, and the city is ready to embrace a post-pandemic world. Who better to lead the charge than our trailblazing mayor at the helm of this incredible city?
