A Calling and a Path to Public ServiceWe are grateful to Kent City Councilmember Satwinder Kaur for joining our youth and staff for an online leadership seminar.Councilmember Kaur did not set out to run for office—a lifetime of public service based in her faith and the recognition that people need to see others like themselves in leadership roles led her into politics.In addition to serving on the City Council she volunteers with a number of local organizations, serving as Chair of the Kent Cultural Communities Board, sits on the Board of Directors for Living Well Kent, and is a member of the City of Renton’s mayor’s Diversity Task Force. Kaur has served as an intern in the Kent City Mayor’s Office prior to running for office.ICL continues to increase our online classes and sessions during COVID-19. We are bringing experts from around the world with feet-on-the-ground experience in organizing, civic engagement and public service together with our youth and staff.This is an excellent time to study the relevance and importance of transforming ourselves to make change in the world.
