Inclusion is a behavior. It’s more than simply inviting someone to the table. If you want buy-in and true supporters, they have to know they’re genuinely part of the process. Karen Slaughter-DuPerry, project management and community relations executive of the Detroit Riverfront Conservancy teaches us how to embody this behavior through her experience with building the necessary support to make the revitalized Detroit riverfront a reality.
