Doing Hard Things: Inclusive Leadership and Transforming Housing.
In this episode of EmpowHER, CSG Advisors Co-CEOs and hosts Nicole Graham and Tanya Dempsey welcome Elizabeth Strojan, Executive Director of the Louisville Metro Housing Authority.
Elizabeth shares how her career took her from Peace Corps service in Madagascar to affordable housing work in the Bronx, leadership roles at Enterprise Community Partners and the New York City Housing Development Corporation, and ultimately back home to Louisville.
They discuss:
- How her Peace Corps service in Madagascar shaped her approach to inclusion and public service
- The value of raising your hand for challenging opportunities, even when you do not have all the answers
- Leading organizational and cultural change at a housing authority in crisis
- Building trust, honoring institutional knowledge, and bringing teams together around a shared goal
- Elizabeth’s return home to Louisville and applying lessons from every stage of her career
Elizabeth offers an authentic look at the responsibility of leadership and what it takes to create lasting change for residents, staff, and communities.
