This series celebrates women who are doing innovative and transformative work in local government through Q&As that honor individuals and help to elevate more women as role models in local government through an exploration of their individual professional and personal journeys. As one of her nominator says of her: “Alayne’s leadership is defined by humility and a focus on service before self. . . Her ability to connect with people from all walks of life—across ages, backgrounds, and experiences—speaks to her respect for diversity and her collaborative approach to leadership." Her meteoric rise to this position which began as a summer intern, is "a big responsibility," she says. "but it’s also a tremendous privilege to give back to the community I grew up in." One of her observations, learned along the way: "I’ve had to learn how to assert myself, especially in male-dominated spaces where I’ve been mistaken for an assistant or treated dismissively. Being young and female in leadership can be tough, but I’ve found that being authentic, honest, and transparent works for me."
