Neeraj Tandon - Board Chair, Houston Bike Share
I have had the pleasure of working with Maya Ford during her tenure as Board Chair and subsequently as Interim Executive Director at Houston Bike Share (BCycle Houston). Maya stepped into a leadership role during a challenging period of insolvency. Through her strategic vision and decisive action, she successfully restructured the organization’s administration and operations, paving the way for its conversion to a public utility. This transition ensured the continued delivery of essential services to the community.
Kyle Shelton - Director, University of Minnesota Center for Transportation Studies
In my former role as Deputy Director of the Kinder Institute for Urban Research at Rice University, I worked as the project manager for Harris County’s My Home is Here housing study. The Ford Momentum team led our communications and outreach work as a part of that project. Their leadership in this effort was rooted in their authentic interest in serving the people of Harris County and creating communications tools that all could access. They trained a team of Harris County residents to be engagement specialists and to help deliver the engagement effort.
Alexandra Miller - Principal, Alexandra Miller Consulting
“FM!s work is grounded in cultural and community literacy, equity, and well-being, and it generates trust and confidence beyond what I have seen in typical outreach processes. When we began the engagement process during the 2021 My Home is Here study, the pandemic had not started. But once COVID inhibited in-person meetings, FM! swiftly pivoted their strategy to embrace new technologies and ways of interacting, such as providing stipends to community journalists, hosting live online sessions with leaders across various topic areas and geographies, and developing targeted online and media campaigns.
