Participants: Leah Fielding, Kimbo Brown-Schirato, Christine Benedetti, Nicky Byrne
Date: 1/6/2021
Time: 5:30 PM
Next Gen discussed how one of their members, Stephanie Janigo, was stepping down from the
advisory committee because of the difficulties associated with it. They discussed that they needed to
spend the next few months focused on evaluating the achievements of Next Gen, encouraging others to
join and get involved in local government, and the need to get out the vote for the upcoming city
election. Next Gen feels that they need more support from council to be a more effective board. The
pandemic has made community engagement difficult for Next Gen but they are hopeful that they can
persevere, the pandemic will end and they will be able to re-engage with the community.
Kimbo Brown-Sharito, a member of Next Gen, will be stepping down after this meeting as she
dedicates her time to her candidacy for Aspen City Council. She expressed that she was proud of the
Next Gen committees’ achievements and the work of her fellow committee members.
MEETING ENDED: 6:20 PM
