Today we’re welcoming Liz Brown, President & CEO of YWCA Columbus, a nonprofit focused on housing, youth development, and social justice. Liz is also a former Columbus City Council member first elected in 2015 and reelected in 2019 before leaving in 2023. In this first part of our conversation, we discuss Liz's time on council, her thoughts on our housing shortage, her work at YWCA, the impacts of the current federal administration on nonprofits, and, among everything happening, what keeps us hopeful.
