Raymond A. Jetson is the Chief Executive Catalyst for MetroMorphosis, the driving force behind the signature initiative, the Urban Congress. In his role, Mr. Jetson uses his extensive network and reservoir of social capital – as a former legislator, pastor and other executive roles in state agencies, to deploy resources to support the goals of the organization. One aspect of his work is creating “safe spaces” for African-American males to give voice to the work in the community such as barbershop talks where they are intentional about incorporating “youth voice.” Mr. Jetson is an experienced leader and an important “connector” for intersectional collaboration between community members, stakeholders and systems.
