Northeast Ohio is on the precipice of fundamental change. The movement
to maximize the region’s many resources through consolidation and sharing is growing and showing significant progress. There are several
notable developments reflecting this progress: the formation of The Fund
for Our Economic Future, uniting philanthropy in Northeast Ohio to help
strengthen the region's economic competitiveness through grantmaking,
research and civic engagement; Team NEO, a central resource working to
spur regional economic development; Cleveland +, the regional branding
effort uniting the marketing messages of Cleveland, Akron, Canton and
Youngstown; and the Northeast Mayors Association, a contingent of
Northeast Ohio mayors who recently voted to explore joint revenue
sharing opportunities through collaboration.
The message and the movement to more efficiently utilize scarce
resources is also reaching Northeast Ohio’s non-profit community. Today, many Northeast Ohio foundations and corporations demand
collaboration and non-duplication of services as a requirement of any
grant request. It is a seismic trend sure to have a major impact on the
ability and performance of the hundreds of fundraising professionals
raising needed contributions for the organizations they serve.
Come and hear first hand about regionalism and its impact on the
non-profit community from a panel of leading experts on the front line
of this evolution. Our four speakers will discuss their own views on
regional collaboration and cooperation and will include the unique
perspective of an agency executive who was part of a re-engineering that
merged nine separate organizations into one.
