Today Bring It On!’s hosts, Clarence Boone and Liz Micthell, spend the hour with Jim Sms and Beverly Calender Anderson.
When Bring It On launched in 2005, Jim Sims was the first co-anchor along with Delia Alexander. Jim was employed at Indiana University – Residential Programs and Services Division (31 years) and additionally served as Council liaison to the City of Bloomington Utilities (among other council board, commission, and committee appointments), as President of the Monroe County NAACP, and as Chair for Second Baptist Church Trustee Board. Jim is the second African American to ever serve on Bloomington City Council, where he also served as Council President and At-Large Representative.
Beverly Calender Anderson has enjoyed a long tenure as one of the distinctive voices as an anchor for Bring It On! For more than 18 years Beverly has served the City of Bloomington in the Community and Family Resources Department. First as the director of Safe and Civil Cities (9+ years) and then as director of the department (9+ years). She is a longtime leader in the community, through her roles with the City of Bloomington, and countless other community-based roles on boards and commissions. She serves as an inspiration to women in local government and social services. She leads humbly but firmly, she encourages creative solutions to new problems, mentors and supports others, and she is willing to go above and beyond her job description to serve our community. Among her many recognitions, in 2021, she was bestowed the distinction as a Women Excel Bloomington Honoree.
