Last week I was very fortunate to attend a retreat of the Columbus Partnership, a group that includes over 50 CEOs from the Columbus Region. I have pages of notes from the discussions, both inspiring and challenging. We were joined by not only by our regional leaders, but also by guests from the cities of Boston, Atlanta and Minneapolis.
I am struck by the common challenges and the uncommon people that are around our community tables trying to grow our economies, address educational and social issues, and make our communities simply better.
These were some of the thoughts that recurred in my notes from the retreat:
