​​​"We don't need a title to lead.  We just need to care." ~Craig Rochelle

"What makes you effective as a leader is not the title you hold. Instead, it’s demonstrating an unrelenting focus on helping others succeed in their collective efforts.

Leadership has little to do with authority, or even being in charge. Leadership is all about inspiring people to believe that the impossible is possible; developing and building confidence in people to perform at heights they never imagined."

Meet Alisher!

Able. Honest. Courageous. 
As the son of two humanitarians, Alisher spent much of his childhood overseas as his parents worked in several third world countries. When his family moved back to the United States on a temporary basis Alisher enrolled in Commonwealth Charter Academy, where he excelled academically and graduated at the top of his class. 

In 2017, Alisher founded Yellow Brick Robotics, a 501(c)3 educational non-profit that specifically works with students in The Lebanon City/surrounding area using STEAM (Science, Technology, Engineering, Art, and Mathematics) to help children grow in their curiosity and self confidence. 

Professionally, Alisher has experience as an office manager, political/news writer, non-profit administrator, small business owner, and strategic analyst. Currently he works for a consulting business that he founded, and in 2023 he published a book called "The Human Element of Politics". In his book, Alisher detailed the experience he had campaigning for his first run for city council in 2021, and he provides an insight into his vision for government management. 

Alisher has studied Local and State Public Policy as he has pursued his Bachelors degree which is in Government Administration. 

Alisher's Vision 

 

Community Outreach
  • For too long Lebanon City has had a disconnect between our local community and the government that represents us.
  • City residents also appear to be more disconnected than ever.   
  • By bridging the gaps that exist in our community,  we can create a community where all residents have opportunities for physical, social, emotional, and financial health...and the ability to thrive.
Budget
  • As a city we cannot spend money we do not have, and we cannot increase the tax burden on city residents, especially those with fixed incomes.  That means both local and outside investment (along with increase grant acquisition) is needed to spearhead growth.
  • Over the last number of years, the current administration has done everything they can to balance the budget of Lebanon in an effort to get by.
  • We need to begin expanding the priorities of the Lebanon City Government to streamline local business support through city initiatives and state funding. 
Housing
  • One of the most pressing issues Lebanon City faces today, is its struggle with available, affordable, and quality housing.
  • For the city as a whole to enhance its image, we must work towards elevating the quality of our infrastructure.
  • By focusing on developing real-estate partnerships and revising outdated codes and ordinances, we will continue bringing us forward.​ 
Trust
  • ​We need to give a greater voice to the community at large.
  • For the city to grow, we must involve the voices of our citizens through discussion in more open forums outside of just regularly scheduled City Council meetings.
  • Leaders in the community need to actively seek the voice of the people in an effort to best represent them. 
"To grow as a city, we must first be able to coordinate our efforts together." ~ Alisher Aminov
