On October 27th, 2022, Civic Commons held an event at the Gates Discovery Center to introduce the Greater Seattle Compact for Belonging to the general public.

To celebrate, we invited four guests to talk about Belonging with the audience. Listen as Priya Frank (Seattle Art Museum), Donna Moodie (Marjorie Restaurant), Rozella "Rozie" Kennedy (Camber Collective and the Brave Sis Project) and Commissioner Sam Cho (Port of Seattle) tell some of their origin stories and how Belonging fits into small businesses, the arts, government, consulting, restaurants, and nonprofits!

Both Priya and Rozie have published books recently. You can find them here if interested:
