Keys to Leadership from Amy Goodwin: First Female Mayor of Charleston, West Virginia

As the first female Mayor of Charleston, West Virginia, Amy Shuler Goodwin never imagined that she would spend most of her first term leading the state’s largest city through a pandemic. However, her careers in journalism, public relations, communications, and state tourism equipped her for leadership in challenging times. Since taking office in January 2019, Mayor Goodwin has prioritized fiscal accountability, efficient processes, fairness and forward-thinking policies, and programming.
