The 2008 Connect, Create, Change Conference was an effective exchange of ideas and an inspiration for action. We thank all participants for their attendance and support. Please stay tuned for the 2009 Connect, Create, Change Conference hosted by the 2008-2009 Cleveland Executive Fellows!

Connect, Create, Change is a one-day opportunity for region-wide dialog. For almost a full year, the 07-08 Cleveland Executive Fellows have been engaged in conversations with local community leaders about their vision for northeast Ohio. The knowledge gained from these conversations with respect to how Cleveland might benefit from best practice models abroad have helped shape our travel itinerary to Denmark.

As a follow up to the trip, Fellows are offering the Connect, Create, Change conference as a one-day community conversation designed to listen, teach, energize, and problem solve. Our city is one in need of young leaders committed to bringing solutions back to our neighborhoods. We believe we are those leaders, and we invite all community members to join the conversation.

Sponsors: Cleveland Foundation, Cleveland Leadership Center, Lubrizol Corporation, Whole Foods Market, family and friends.
