OANA Meeting May 12, District 22 City Council Candidates Forum on May 24

ASTORIA – The Old Astoria Neighborhood Association (OANA) holds its next meeting on Wednesday, May 12, 6:30 PM EDT. The meeting agenda includes the presentation Undesign the Redline: Why West of 21st Street Was Neglected, by Braden Crook, a founding partner at Designing the We, a social impact design studio operating in community-driven social and economic development, with panelists Stacey Andreadakis and Bishop Mitchell Taylor.

Andreadakis holds a Master of Science in Real Estate Development (MSRED) from Columbia University; a Master of Science in Applied Mathematics (MSc) from the Courant Institute of Mathematical Sciences at New York University; and a Bachelor of Science (BS) degree in Applied Mathematics from George Washington University. Andreadakis’ passion for understanding the economic and sociological dynamic between the community and public-private partnerships drives her application of mathematical modeling in answering questions such as how can we better equip our communities with the tools and resources to be their own advocates.

Panelist Bishop Mitchell Taylor is the Co-Founder and CEO of Urban Upbound and Senior Pastor at Center of Hope International.

Performing artist Rachid Halihal will present music of North Africa.
