Power U Center
Dr. Gallon met with the members of the Power U Center for Social Change. They discussed several issues and collaborative ways to improve our schools. Dr. Gallon believes that “true leadership requires engaging all stakeholders, even when their issues and concerns many not fit one’s narrative. Public service and leadership are about the true exchange of ideas.”
