EP 195: Guest Host Liz Cornish ft Aaron Dante

Liz Cornish joined South Baltimore Gateway Partnership in April of 2021 as the Enhanced Services Director where she currently manages a multi-million-dollar portfolio of community development projects in South Baltimore. Liz previously served as the Executive Director of Bikemore, Baltimore City's Livable Streets Advocacy organization. Under her leadership the organization achieved significant growth and secured major policy wins including the passage of the Complete Streets Ordinance which was recognized by Smart Growth America as a top complete streets initiative in 2018. During her tenure at Bikemore she was named a Baltimore Visionary by Baltimore Magazine, and a "True American Hero" for her work on complete streets by Streetsblog USA. In 2019, Bikemore was named Bike Advocacy Organization of the Year by the League of American Bicyclists.

In 2020, she served on Mayor Brandon Scott's Transition Team as Co-Chair of the Transportation and Infrastructure committee. She has previously held positions with Outward Bound, University of South Carolina, and the League of American Bicyclists. She currently serves on the board of the Central Maryland Transportation Alliance. She has a Bachelor of Arts in Adventure Education from Prescott College and a Master of Education in Recreation Administration from the University of Arkansas. Liz believes great parks, public spaces, and access to reliable transportation are essential for building healthy and equitable neighborhoods. She loves morning walks to neighborhood coffee shops with her dog Daisy, playing piano and ukulele, and spending time outside with neighbors. She grew up in Tulsa, OK and has called Baltimore home since 2015.
