A better life for each, a better life for all

Because of the uniqueness of Cincinnati, possibly there are many people in the community who wrestle with the question: "How can the quality of life be improved for every resident of this 'Queen of the mid-west'?" It is the preoccupation of both Agenda 360 and Vision 2015 just for an example.

How about starting with the assets or the "what is" and then move on to the possibilities? Greater Cincinnati has many strong factors that can be used to bring about the dreams of its residents and those who love living here.

How often do you appreciate the beauty of Cincinnati? Think of its geography, history and architecture. How about the arts and sports? Consider the fact that Cincinnati is home to many international and Fortune 500 companies. There are some Best 100 Hospitals right here as well as nationally and internationally recognized schools, universities and research centers.

Because of these factors, Cincinnati has a unique diversity, unmatched in the mid-west.

This diverse community is equally generous. The level and spirit of volunteerism and philanthropy is outstanding. There is passion for the well being of others. Leaders - in corporate, public, private and civic institutions - truly care about the community.

How can these positive qualities be used to bring about positive change, a better life for each, and a better Cincinnati for all?
