Her Turn to Lead: Mayor Daria Devlin and Erie’s Next Chapter

History has a way of making certain moments feel bigger than an election.When Daria Devlin became mayor of Erie, Pennsylvania, she became only the second woman in the city’s history to hold its highest elected office—following the trail first blazed by former Mayor Joyce Savocchio more than three decades ago.But Devlin’s story is about much more than making history.A lifelong Erie resident with years of experience in community development, education, nonprofit leadership and public service, Devlin now carries the responsibility of leading a city confronting questions about economic opportunity, neighborhoods, young people, public services and what Erie wants to become next.On this episode of Etcetera with the Woodards, Mayor Daria Devlin sits down for a conversation about the road that brought her to City Hall, the significance of becoming only Erie’s second woman mayor, the responsibility that comes with leadership, and her vision for the community she now leads.It’s a conversation about public service, representation, leadership and the future of Erie—from a woman who now has the opportunity to help shape that future from the mayor’s office.Etcetera with the Woodards presents: “Her Turn to Lead: Mayor Daria Devlin and Erie’s Next Chapter.”
