It was a wake-up call, and Charlotte's large corporations, nonprofits and government mobilized to tackle the problem. Now, nearly 10 years later, how is Charlotte doing?\nSherri Chisolm, executive director of Leading on Opportunity, discusses Charlotte's economic mobility efforts with Charlotte Ledger editor Tony Mecia. They discuss what's being done to improve economic mobility, how to measure progress and how to keep the city focused on a generations-long journey.\nYou can find out more about Leading on Opportunity at www.leadingonopportunity.org.\nFor more information about The Charlotte Ledger, or to sign up for our newsletters, visit TheCharlotteLedger.com.\nThis episode of The Charlotte Ledger Podcast is hosted by Ledger editor Tony Mecia.
