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
    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.
