Alisha Haddock believes in the power of community. With a resume filled with service-oriented work, Alisha stays committed to the idea that Nashville can be better — if we all work together. That's what landed her at the helm of the community nonprofit Neighbor 2 Neighbor, and on Nashville's Community Review Board overseeing Metro police.

Alisha's Nashville roots run deep: There's a portrait of her grandmother Nora Ransom on display in Elizabeth Park. Ms. Ransom was a pillar of the community who brought people together and looked out for her neighbors. And today, her granddaughter Alisha carries that forward, crediting her upbringing in North Nashville and in the church for her commitment to service and her optimism about the power of ordinary people to make the world better.
