“As I look back on the people and the places and the ideas, I can only begin to grasp in how many ways I have been impacted. I observed both similarities and stark differences between my home city and host cities. I’ve seen innovation in practice, and I’ve seen bold policy concepts being put into practice to tackle problems that are common to many urban areas. I am already formulating ideas to incorporate my newfound understanding to the city I call home. The potential is limitless. Cincinnati and I will be reaping the benefits of this experience for many years to come.” – Maraskeshia Smith, Deputy Director of Public Services, City of Cincinnati, Ohio
