Collectively, our group reflects a rich history of bringing individuals together to serve in their communities, enrich the lives of people at their point of need, and deliver significant projects and programs at the local and international level. While we are all proud of our past, we know we stand at a point in time where we must aggressively seek to stay relevant through innovation and change. In a world of swift technological advancements, societal changes, workplace evolution, disruptions, and pop-up nonprofits, organizations like ours need to continue to demonstrate our value and strength. How do we remain vibrant and attractive to new generations? How do we ensure we continue to serve, deliver strong networks of like-minded individuals and bring about social change? Those are questions we plan to address during the 2017 SCLC. We are excited about this program, which has been designed to help us stay relevant through innovation and change. We thank all of our speakers for generously sharing their time, talents and insights with our group. We also thank the city of Cincinnati for their dedication to providing SCLC a wonderful backdrop for our event and enriching experiences for our participants. In return, you will want to consider Cincinnati as a venue for one of your future conventions.

    Proponent Testimony on House Bill 531 House Government Accountability and Oversight Committee Jeff Berding, President and General Manager, Futbol Club Cincinnati March 20, 2018 Chairman Blessing, Vice-Chair Reineke, Ranking Member Clyde and members of the House Government Accountability and Oversight Committee, thank you for the opportunity to present proponent testimony on House Bill 531 to create the Sports Event Grant Fund to make grants under Ohio’s Major Sporting Event Grant Program. My name is Jeff Berding. I am President and General Manager of FC Cincinnati. FC Cincinnati is currently a member of the United Soccer League. First, I would be remiss if I did not extend our appreciation for the state’s support in the capital bill as we pursue a Major League Soccer bid. When Carl Lindner III and I announced the formation of FC Cincinnati in August of 2015, we hoped to develop a club that could capture the interest of kids and families throughout Cincinnati who love soccer. Thanks to our fans, community and business partners, we have exceeded all expectations in a very short period of time, setting attendance records in our first two seasons including the single game attendance record for a soccer match in Ohio for our exhibition against Crystal Palace, an English Premier League club. Due to the overwhelming support for soccer, Cincinnati has been short listed as one of the potential host cities in North America for the bid filed by the U.S., Canada and Mexico for the 2026 FIFA World Cup. FC Cincinnati, the Cincinnati USA Sports Commission and our community partners will form a local organizing committee as we continue to pursue this international opportunity.

  • Cranley's State of the City: Police Reforms, Housing Court Sharon Coolidge , [email protected]:44 A.M
    Cranley's State of the City: Police reforms, housing court Sharon Coolidge , [email protected]:44 a.m. EDT October 5, 2016 (Photo: The Enquirer/Kareem Elgazzar) Refreshing the historic police reform deal under the watch of the federal monitor who helped craft it, a countywide housing court for serious property offenders and a small-business loan program aimed at helping minority businesses get off the ground were three ideas rolled out by Mayor John Cranley Tuesday night at the 2016 State of the City speech. Cranley took the stage at the 20th Century Theater in Oakley – the same place he kicked off his mayoral campaign – with nearly three years of work to tout and a looming re-election campaign in which he is being challenged by Councilwoman Yvette Simpson for the city’s top elective post. His walkout song: “My shot” from the musical “Hamilton” greeting the crowd of more than 500 people – with a laugh: “Come on, it’s the best musical.” By contrast, Cranley was serious about city issues. “We are engaged in great and important work, building a city that works for all,” Cranley said. “There is nothing I would rather be doing and nobody but you I would rather be working with. Together, we can prove what we already know – that cities are special because they are premised on the very notion that we are stronger together.” There were new ideas and a look back at his accomplishments, with a nod to every council member at some point. Among the accomplishments mentioned: Poverty decreased 5 percent over the past two years, according to the census.

Barton Professor of Communications Associate Dean of Graduate Studies and Research Thesis Adviser Chair of Committee _____________________________ ______________________ Suzanna DeBoef Associate Professor of Political Science _____________________________ ______________________ Patrick Parsons Associate Professor of Communications _____________________________ ______________________ Ronald A. Smith Professor Emeritus of Exercise and Sport Science iii Abstract Stadium construction has occurred at record-breaking level in major metropolitan areas of the United States in the last decade. This dissertation traces media coverage of stadium construction policy throughout the twentieth century and the beginning of the twenty-first century, focusing specifically on newspaper coverage of this issue. The hypothesis that media practitioners in smaller metropolitan areas will be more likely to privilege voices supporting new stadium construction is examined. The case study method is utilized and content analysis is employed to determine media coverage trends in major American metropolitan areas. Cincinnati and Pittsburgh are examined as small market cities, while Boston and New York are explored as larger market cities. Evidence is provided that larger markets adopt a more critical position than small market cities regarding new stadium construction in newspaper opinion content. Large market publications are similar to smaller market counterparts in providing greater opportunity for expression to pro-stadium voices.
