    • "The Next Generation of Local Leadership" with Vice Chair Maureen Coffey, Arlington County, Virginia
      Jan 27 2026

      Expectations of local leadership are changing—and this conversation helps explain how and why.

      Vice Chair Maureen Coffey reflects on stepping into office as the youngest person ever elected to the Arlington County Board, what it took to earn trust, and what surprised her once she was in the role——while navigating barriers that aren't always visible, but still shape who feels welcomed into leadership and who has to work harder to be heard.

      This episode is part of a monthly series sponsored by RELI – the Regional Elected Leaders Initiative at George Mason University's Schar School of Policy and Government.

    • "Our Shared Purpose" with Matt Lehrman, Social Prosperity Partners
      Nov 25 2025

      As 2025 draws to a close, Community Catalysts host Matt Lehrman offers a heartfelt reflection on gratitude, leadership, and the promise of local democracy. In this special Thanksgiving message, he reminds us that the future of our nation depends not on distant politics, but on how neighbors come together to listen, deliberate, and lead in the places we call home.

      Disagreement, Matt observes, isn't a failure — it's proof that democracy is alive. And when we meet one another with patience, humility, and respect, we keep that promise alive for generations to come.

      Community Catalysts will pause publication through December and return in January with more stories, more dialogue, and more inspiration from the people who make local leadership work.

    • "Unlearning Partisanship" with Councilmember Brenda Kalivianakis, Fountain Hills, Arizona
      Nov 18 2025

      Councilmember Brenda Kalivianakis of Fountain Hills, Arizona, entered local government as part of a conservative majority determined to "reclaim" their town. What she didn't expect was how quickly loyalty could turn into pressure — or how strongly she'd resist being told how to vote.

      In this candid conversation, Brenda traces her evolution from partisan recruit to independent thinker, describing what happens when national-style politics collide with small-town governance. She talks about being urged to "toe the line," about donors demanding refunds, and about the moment she decided her oath of office meant more than political allegiance.

      Her story reveals the personal cost of standing apart — and the quiet strength it takes to stay focused on serving all the people, even when partisans on both sides would rather you didn't.
