Philadelphia Mayor Cherelle Parker is partnering with an embedded @fusecorps fellow to turn 1,000 city-owned parcels into affordable housing as part of her historic HOME Initiative.

I was delighted to spend the day with Mayor Parker, @johnlegend, and several other partners and funders to see how this important work is transforming Philly’s Sharswood neighborhood!

We couldn’t be more excited to announce Melvin Carter (@mwcarter3) as CEO of FUSE.

Carter begins his tenure today after two decades in local and state government, most recently as Mayor of Saint Paul, Minnesota. He was selected following a months-long national search that considered more than 1,100 applicants.

Jeff Hébert, Board Chair of FUSE and CEO of HR&A Advisors, shared, “Melvin was our first and unanimous choice. He’s spent his career building systems that last, and he understands how to turn that kind of change into real results. That gives us a lot of confidence and excitement about where he’ll take this organization.”

Carter succeeds James Weinberg, who has served as CEO since 2014. Under Weinberg’s leadership, FUSE led over 500 executive fellowship projects in more than 250 city and county agencies across 33 states. Weinberg will remain engaged as a senior advisor through the end of this year to support a smooth transition.

“It has been the greatest honor of my career to lead this organization,” said Weinberg. “Alongside a remarkable community of staff, fellows, civic leaders, and funders, FUSE has helped governments across the country work more effectively for their communities and accelerate systems change. I cannot imagine a stronger leader for what comes next than Melvin Carter, and I am excited for him to carry this work forward.”

Lenny Mendonca, Co-Founder and Chair Emeritus of FUSE, also reflected on FUSE’s last 15 years. Mendonca is a Senior Partner Emeritus at McKinsey & Company and is the Former Chief Economic and Business Advisor for the State of California.

“FUSE believes local leaders are closest to their communities, and that the right people, in the right roles, at the right times can help turn ideas into action,” he said. “James helped bring that vision to life, building a fellowship model that has helped hundreds of local governments tackle some of their toughest challenges. Melvin embodies that same belief in the power of local leadership, and I’m excited for him to carry this work forward.”

Welcome, Melvin Carter, to FUSE! Let’s continue building together. by @mwcarter3
