STFM President Joseph Gravel, MD, illustrates how he has staved off burnout by building a career around the life-giving practices of advocacy, service, and gratitude. Dr Gravel gives us a sneak peek into the strategic plan which will guide STFM in the coming years, centered around topics such as artificial intelligence (AI). He also lets us know about his dislike of the “P-Word” (“provider”) and why the labels used for family medicine professionals are so important to maintaining that professionalism which gives agency and appropriate voice to those giving relationship-based care in an era of corporatized medicine.Hosted by Omari A.

Best Of BPR 8/01: Deval Patrick On American Democracy & Photo-Copter Parents

Arthur Jemison – City of Boston/Boston Planning & Development Agency Arthur Jemison is the City of Boston's Chief of Planning and the Director of the Boston Planning and Development Agency (‘BPDA'). A nationally respected public-private development leader, Chief Jemison came “back” to the City of Boston with 28 years of planning and affordable housing expertise, working with community members to create equitable places in Detroit, MI, Washington D.C. and Boston, MA. Most recently, Jemison served as Principal Deputy Assistant Secretary of Housing and Urban Development (HUD), where he led the Office of Community Planning and Development (CPD) and served as the policy lead and HUD partner for American Cities, Counties, States, and other local units of government. Jemison joined HUD from the City of Detroit, where he was Group Executive for Planning, Housing & Development, leading the City's efforts toward equitable growth. In early 2014, Jemison was recruited to lead the Housing & Revitalization Department for the City of Detroit, to assist as the City recovered from bankruptcy. In that capacity, Jemison led strategy, deployment and management of municipal housing policy and HUD entitlement funding. Before going to Detroit, Jemison held leadership positions at the Department of Housing and Community Development (DHCD) for Massachusetts under Governor Deval Patrick. Prior to that, he held a variety of public and private-sector positions, including service at Massachusetts Port Authority, Boston Housing Authority, the then-Boston Redevelopment Authority, and in private development work at GLC Development Resources, as well as in the District of Columbia.Jemison has a Bachelor of Arts degree from the University of Massachusetts at Amherst. He also holds a Master of City Planning degree from the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, where he was a Public Policy and International Affairs (PPIA) Fellow. Jemison is also a 2021 Spirit of Detroit Award winner, a 2016 Michigan Chronicle Men / Women of Excellence awardee, and a member of the team recognized with the 2013 Robert Larson Public Policy Award for Workforce Housing from the Urban Land Institute, on behalf of the Commonwealth of Massachusetts.Our conversation with Chief Jemison starts with his familial roots and upbringing in Detroit, MI and Amherst, MA and his college days at UMass Amherst, where he was first introduced to economics, urban planning and public policy. Through a fellowship opportunity for under-represented students, Arthur blazed his trail to MIT where he earned his Master in City Planning (MCP) degree, and turned his focus to real estate's private sector, working initially in Miami for Arthur Andersen doing development feasibility consulting before following his calling in the public domain. Much of our discussion with Chief Jemison, not surprisingly, focuses on the Boston market and his important work as the Director of the BPDA and as the City's Planning Chief. We enjoyed this candid discussion, in which Arthur stressed the importance of collaboration and cooperation between his team and the development community. We were encouraged by this discussion and hope you enjoy it as much as we did.For more information on the Boston Planning & Development Agency, please visit http://www.bostonplans.org/Mentioned in this Episode:What Arthur's Reading Right now: Small Mercies (Dennis Lehane)New Book Alert: Look for Me There (Luke Russert)Required RE Reading: The Reichmanns: Family, Faith, Fortune, and the Empire of Olympia & YorkTom Greeleytom.greeley@nmrk.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/thomasgreeley/Mike Greeleymichael.greeley@nmrk.comhttps://www.linkedin.com/in/michaelgreeley1/

Massachusetts lawmakers and Governor Maura Healey have only passed 12 new laws in the past five months – the fewest by this point in the legislative session in decades. By comparison, Charlie Baker signed nearly 30 bills by June during his first year and Deval Patrick signed 44 bills into law in the same time period. Boston Globe Politics Reporter Matt Stout joins The Common to discuss what is behind the slow progress, as well as what it means for Maura Healey's goals as governor.  Greater Boston's daily podcast where news and culture meet.

Marc Dones, the CEO of the King County Regional Homeless Authority (KCRHA), has decided to step down after leading the department for two years.“The KCRHA team and our city and county partners are grateful and appreciative of the visionary work of CEO Marc Dones in starting up the King County Regional Homelessness Authority as a new regional agency,” Anne Martens, the senior director of External Affairs & Communications at KCRHA, wrote in a prepared statement.“Mx. Dones has served as CEO since 2021, and was deeply involved in the design of the agency from its first inception in 2018,” the statement continued. “They have been a tireless advocate for racial equity and social justice, centering lived experience, increasing affordable housing, highlighting root causes of economic instability, and working together to iterate on new approaches to transforming the homelessness response system.”Prior to taking on the role of inaugural CEO for the organization, they were the founder and executive director of the National Innovation Service (NIS), an advocacy group that focused largely on reshaping racial equity in the United States. Dones also worked with the then-governor of Massachusetts, Deval Patrick, on the “design and implementation” of a youth violence production program spanning 11 cities.Support the show

Born and raised in Worcester, Massachusetts, Senator Kennedy graduated from Holy Name High School and got her bachelor's degree from Assumption University. Her internship at Congressman Jim McGovern's office provided her with her first exposure to the world of politics. After graduating, she got involved in his re-election campaign as well as the one to elect Ed Augustus to the State Senate. Her affection for the community they were creating grew as a result of door-to-door canvassing, getting to know the locals, and developing relationships. In 2006, after devoting months of hard work to getting Governor Deval Patrick and Lt. Governor Tim Murray elected, she stepped into her first role on Beacon Hill as a Deputy Director of Appointments. From there she went on to the Lt. Governor's Office as a Director of Policy and Interagency Initiatives, then a Deputy Chief of Staff, and a Deputy Assistant Secretary for Children, Youth, and Families. She gained greater knowledge about the effort required to provide services for the citizens of our Commonwealth every day. She is devoted to making sure that no parent in our community has to choose between employment and childcare and that every child in our community has access to high-quality, affordable early education and care. She is working for these objectives as a newly elected senator. She also recognizes the long-standing regulations that have made it challenging to find and maintain housing, as well as the reality of how little new housing has been constructed in previous years and to ensure that everyone has access to affordable homes. Episode Highlights: How did you get into politics? (2:03) Working on several campaigns. (5:23) The importance of having a strong team around you. (8:12) Focusing on the care economy. (13:02) Why do you stick to one child? (14:57) Advocacy is so important. (19:27) It's not just about the pay but the respect. (21:38) It takes the entire village to make a change. (27:40) Ladies run for office. (29:42) Key Takeaway: "Run for office. If you have any interest in this field, We are frequently socialized to believe that we are too average or that we lack the necessary skills, and we've become so accustomed to hearing that we're not good enough and that someone else is better. However, there is a lot that women can contribute and bring to the table." Resources: Twitter Instagram Website

Today on Boston Public Radio: We opened the show by taking our listener's calls to ask how they felt about The Embrace sculpture installed on Boston Common last week. The statue highlights the connections Dr. Martin Luther King and Coretta Scott King had to the city of Boston and honors their love and legacy of civil rights activism. Michael Curry, the CEO of the community health centers of Massachusetts, called in from the annual MLK Day memorial breakfast in Boston. He discussed the legacy of the Kings in Boston and what the monument means for the city going forward. Curry is also a member of the national NAACP board of directors, where he chairs the board's advocacy and policy committee Charlie Sennott of the Groundtruth Project came on to talk about the new equipment that the United States has sent to Ukraine, and how that reflects the shifting needs of the army there. He also discussed the ongoing threats to democracy in Brazil by supporters of former President Jair Bolsonaro. Shirley Leung came on to discuss the holes in the electric vehicle charging network in Massachusetts and across the country. She also discussed the optimism among business leaders regarding Gov. Maura Healey's administration. Leung is a Boston Globe business columnist. The Revs. Irene Monroe and Emmett Price III joined us to discuss how Dr. King's message and beliefs have been misconstrued and sanitized for political convenience over the course of American history. Monroe is a syndicated religion columnist and the Boston voice for Detour's African American Heritage Trail and co-host of the All Rev'd Up podcast. Price is founding pastor of Community of Love Christian Fellowship in Allston, the inaugural dean of Africana studies at Berklee College of Music and co-host of the All Rev'd Up podcast. Then we aired a segment from our live broadcast of The Embrace unveiling from this past Friday. The segment included excerpts from our interviews with members of the King family, Diane and Deval Patrick, Mayor Michelle Wu, Healey and Attorney General-elect Andrea Campbell. We ended the show by asking listeners if they are participating in this national day of service on MLK Day.

Today on Boston Public Radio, the show broadcast live from the unveiling of the Embrace sculpture in downtown Boston. Hosts Jim Braude and Margery Eagan spoke with GBH Morning Edition co-host Paris Alston, who offered reporting from the field; and GBH's Callie Crossley, who provided analysis before and after the unveiling. They also spoke with: Embrace executive director Imari Paris Jeffries; artist Hank Willis Thomas and architect Jonathan Evans; former Governor Deval Patrick and Diane Patrick; Embrace co-founders Paul English, Rev. Jeffrey Brown and Rev. Liz Walker; The Boston Foundation's Lee Pelton; Congresswoman Ayanna Pressley; the NAACP's Michael Curry and Tanisha Sullivan; Governor Maura Healey, Boston Mayor Michelle Wu, and AG-elect Andrea Campbell in conversation together; and members of the King family, Martin Luther King III, Arndrea Waters King, and Yolanda Renee King. The unveiling ceremony, emceed by NBC10 Boston's Latoyia Edwards, began at 1pm. Boston Public Radio anchored live coverage of the historic event for GBH News.

Crowds gathered to bear witness to this historic moment and hear remarks from prominent Massachusetts leaders, including former Gov. Deval Patrick, U.S. Rep. Ayanna Pressley and Boston Mayor Michelle Wu.

We don't know what the results will be yet, but Massachusetts voters will definitely elect a new governor on Nov. 8, with Republican Charlie Baker stepping aside after two terms. That is among the closely-watched state races in this midterm cycle. Nationally, Republicans are hoping to make inroads in key House and Senate races as they bid to regain control in Washington. For perspective, we speak with former two-term Massachusetts governor Deval Patrick, a Democrat who is now teaching at Harvard.

10/13/2022-- Today on The Horse Race, the team starts out with a quick Covid-19 update. Have you gotten your booster yet? Then Lisa runs through the latest with the migrant story we've been following in the past few weeks. It's another ballot question episode this week. Today we're running through Question 2. If passed, this ballot question would introduce new regulations on dental insurance companies in the Commonwealth. To offer the supporting argument, we're first joined by Brian Monteiro, director of governmental affairs and public relations at the Massachusetts Dental Society. Later we're joined by Doug Rubin, a political consultant and former chief of staff to Governor Deval Patrick, to talk us through the other side of the question.

Republican Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis is vowing to use “every penny” of the $12 million his state budgeted to relocate migrants to other states saying “these are just the beginning efforts.” Officials say the migrants DeSantis sent to Martha's Vineyard from Texas are now at a military base on Cape Cod to receive shelter and humanitarian support. Deval Patrick is a former Democratic governor of Massachusetts. He tells Anderson Cooper “it's wrong” to treat human beings as props in a political stunt. Plus, CNN Chief Law Enforcement and Intelligence Analyst John Miller joins AC360 to discuss the safety concerns around Queen Elizabeth II's funeral, an event the London Metropolitan Police are calling the “largest single policing event” they've ever handled.To learn more about how CNN protects listener privacy, visit cnn.com/privacy

“There are all kinds of ways in which we, as a community, enable the American story,” says Deval Patrick, implying that our success stories overemphasize the individual.   Patrick's own American story is a remarkable one, starting in a tough South Chicago neighborhood, journeying to a planet called boarding school, then onto Harvard and a distinguished legal career, before two terms as Governor.  He recounts how then Senator Barack Obama was initially quizzical, though supportive, of his long-shot run for office. He also underscores the unusual nature of politics in the Bay State, where there are more unenrolled or independent voters than both parties combined, and a Democratic legislature that may prefer GOP Governors to enhance their own power.  “These are human dynamics,” says Patrick, “not so much partisan dynamics.” But politics in Massachusetts is changing as throughout the nation.

New Center for Public Leadership co-director Devan Patrick ascribes bad leadership as a root cause of many of the huge problems facing human society and the world, including the climate crisis, and threats to democracy and human rights. But are bad leaders flawed because of their personal shortcomings or are they an inevitable product of the flawed systems they operate within? And what makes a good leader? Is it their ability to get people to follow them? Or is it choosing the right things to lead those people toward? Patrick recently became co-director with Hannah Riley Bowles of the Harvard Kennedy School's Center for Public Leadership, or CPL, as it's usually referred to here in Cambridge. Transcending his humble beginnings growing up as the son of a single mother on the South Side of Chicago, Patrick has built an impressive—and impressively varied—leadership resume, including serving as governor of Massachusetts, becoming the first Black man to do so. He also served as the Assistant US Attorney General for Civil Rights under President Bill Clinton, as a top corporate executive at Texaco and Coca-Cola, and even launched a brief bid for the White House in 2020. Patrick says that too many of today's leaders are focused on getting into leadership positions and keeping them—with all the power and perks that entails—but have lost track of the greater meaning of what they can achieve for the common good. He joins us to talk about how good, values-based leadership can help turn things around—and the role he hopes CPL can play in that effort.

In this episode of Capital for Good, we speak with Governor Deval Patrick, one of the country's most talented and inspiring leaders, who has blazed many trails across and between the public, nonprofit and private sectors. In this conversation, we explore some of the through lines in a career that has included successful chapters in civil rights law and activism, policy and politics, and entrepreneurship and investing. We discuss Governor Patrick's decision, after two terms as Governor of Massachusetts, to turn his “social impact” lens to the private sector by launching the first impact investing fund — Bain Capital Double Impact — of a global alternative investment firm. Governor Patrick walks us through BCDI's investment thesis and approach, which is focused on health and wellness, sustainability and education, and workforce development. Early investments included Penn Foster, an affordable education, workforce preparation, and skills development company that achieved strong financial and impact returns through an active partnership with BCDI. “If you can demonstrate that you don't have to trade return for impact, it's a whole new game,” Governor Patrick says. We also discuss the growth of the impact investing field, and more broadly increased corporate engagement on issues of equity, justice, and democracy — efforts that Governor Patrick believes mirror the groundswell in community building efforts that he is involved in at the grassroots level. “I see these two as linked,” he says. “This is about everyone taking responsibility for their own civic and political community.” We talk about our shared fortunes coming out of the pandemic, and whether our increased attention to issues of inequity, racial injustice, income, and wealth inequality can put us on a better path forward. “I think there is every opportunity to emerge better,” he says.

La democracia estadounidense no puede ser grande hasta que sea buena, dice el abogado, profesor de Harvard y exgobernador de Massachusetts Deval Patrick. Patrick, que se identifica a sí mismo como patriota, respalda los valores fundamentales y los ideales cívicos que, en su opinión, hacen que EE. UU. sea único, y describe cómo el país se ha desviado de esos mismos edictos. Llamando a un patriotismo colectivo libre de cinismo y fatalismo, Patrick subraya la urgencia de restablecer las aspiraciones nacionales para salvar la democracia.

Teaching Democracy: Civics and Civility in the Classroom and Beyond Originally from the South Side of Chicago, Deval Patrick came to Massachusetts at the age of 14, when he was awarded a scholarship to Milton Academy through the Boston-based organization A Better Chance. After Harvard College and Harvard Law School, he clerked for a federal appellate judge and then launched a career as an attorney and business executive, becoming a staff attorney at the NAACP Legal Defense Fund, a partner at two Boston law firms and a senior executive at two Fortune 50 companies.

On this week's episode of The War Room at American Bridge, American Bridge Co-Founder David Brock sits down with former Massachusetts Governor Deval Patrick to discuss the Trump administrations voter suppression efforts and the importance of voting by mail in this year's election. "More and more, I'm left with the impression that Republicans don't think they can win a fair fight." - Gov. Deval Patrick

The President continues his attacks on mail-in voting - and even muses about delaying the election. Plus, the coronavirus death toll crosses 150,000 - and even as new cases plateau in hard-hit states like Texas and Florida, they're rising across the Midwest.

Gov Patrick's biography is a classic rags-to-riches story that makes for a compelling stump speech. Raised by a single mother on Chicago's South Side, he frequently slept on the floor because there were not enough beds. With some lucky breaks — including a scholarship to a prestigious boarding school — he eventually graduated from Harvard Law School. Gov Patrick served as the 71st governor of Massachusetts, from 2007 to 2015. He was the first African American Governor of Massachusetts. A Democrat, Patrick served from 1994 to 1997 as the United States Assistant Attorney General for the Civil Rights Division under President Bill Clinton. He was a candidate for President of the United States in the 2020 U.S. presidential election.
