Biggest satisfactionThose moments when I know I made a difference in the neighborhood that I call home. I feel so proud when I visit the Riverside Arts Market and know that I had a hand in making that a reality and that it brings thousands of visitors to our historic district, giving them a new appreciation for our urban core residential districts. Programs like RAM and the Riverside Avondale Tour of Homes help make our city an attractive place to visit and to do business. After all, we all know that quality of life is one of the major factors for business relocation. It is also great when a resident has a problem and I can help resolve it in a diplomatic, positive way, or help residents find a way to make their voices heard, which is very difficult in a city this large with so many competing priorities.
