Steering Committee

In October 2022, community members involved with the Russell City Reparative Justice Project nominated 18 individuals to be considered for the project's Steering Committee. After reading candidate statements, listening to candidate presentations and reviewing questionnaire responses, community members selected 11 committee members and two alternates to serve as representatives to serve on the Steering Committee and as representatives of the Russell City Community. Subsequently, the assembled Steering Committee members voted to increase the number of Steering Committee members from 11 to 13. Steering Committee members are listed below.
