Leading Where It Matters: Anderson Sainci on Service, Systems & Community Change
In this episode of Because People Matter, Dr. Helen Fagan sits down with Anderson Sainci, Director of Economic Mobility and Neighborhood Support for the City of Dubuque — and the first African American male elected twice in the city’s history.
From his upbringing in a Haitian household in Florida to becoming a transformational civic leader, Anderson shares a deeply personal look at servant leadership, faith, resilience, and what it really takes to help a community thrive.
