Building Social Equity Into the BeltLine: An MBA Student Reflects on a Year of AB67 Service
Stephen Spicher is in his second year serving on the Atlanta BeltLine Partnership’s AB67 young leaders group. Spicher is also in his second year as a student in the full-time MBA program at Georgia Tech’s Scheller College of Business. Spicher recently wrote a blog about his experience as an AB67 member that was posted to the Ray C. Anderson Center for Sustainable Business’s website and we’d like to share his words with you.
The Partnership is proud to have Spicher as an AB67 member and we applaud his passionate support of our mission to help create a more equitable and sustainable Atlanta BeltLine.
“I did not want to join AB67 just because the BeltLine has a bunch of good hangout spots (although it does). What drew me to the BeltLine was its foundation on all three pillars of sustainability: social equity, economic viability, and environmental protection. During my time in the Marines, I had learned about the importance of all three pillars without even realizing it. In Afghanistan, for instance, one of my responsibilities was to negotiate with local landowners for the use of their land for our various bases. The idea that both parties were equally reliant on each other for economic and physical safety made me realize the importance of connecting with your neighbors in order to develop a community that can benefit everyone. The BeltLine’s mission of creating equitable, inclusive, and sustainable city life aligns perfectly with values that were instilled in me on my deployment.”
