Ohio Board of Regents Special Meeting Minutes Inclusive Competitiveness Subcommittee (Forum) Cuyahoga Community College Cleveland, Ohio April 9, 2014 Ohio Board of Regents Special Meeting Minutes Inclusive Competitiveness Subcommittee (Forum) Cuyahoga Community College Cleveland, Ohio April 9, 2014 I. Welcome and Call to Order Chair Patricia A. Ackerman called the April 9, 2014, Ohio Board of Regents (BOR) Special Meeting of the Inclusive Competitiveness Subcommittee (forum) to order. Charles See, Assistant Deputy Chancellor said that proper public notice of the subcommittee meeting was given in accordance with the Ohio's Open Meetings Act. II. RollCall Chair Ackerman called the roll. Those subcommittee members present were: • Patricia A. Ackerman • Lana Z. Moresky (Vice Chair of the BOR) Chair Ackerman declared that there was a quorum of the subcommittee present. Ill. Approval of Minutes Chair Ackerman asked if there were any additions or corrections to the draft March 12, 2014, minutes. Vice Chair Moresky made a motion to approve the March 12 2014, minutes as drafted and the motion was seconded by Chair Ackerman. All Regents voted in favor of the motion approving the minutes as submitted from March 12, 2014. IV. Welcome and Goals for the Day . Chair Ackerman said good morning to everyone on behalf of the Chair of the BOR Vinny Gupta and Chancellor John Carey. She acknowledged Regent Virginia Lindseth who joined them for the meeting. She said that this was the third of four forums exploring the impact of Inclusive Competitiveness as it relates to the access and active participation of underrepresented groups in the innovation economy. Two significant initiatives in the State of Ohio have approached this issue forthrightly. The first, legislation passed in 2002, the Ohio Third Frontier Commission (OTFC) which created funding and an infrastructure to support entrepreneurship in the technology-related field; and the second was the BOR 4th Condition Report that was issued in 2011 urging increased enrollment of underrepresented groups in the Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics {STEM) disciplines within the State of Ohio's institutions. Chair Ackerman said today's forum is designed to get an understanding of how they are doing on both fronts in terms of who is included and who is competing. The first two forums gave them a perspective from Southeastern and Southwestern Ohio respectively. Today they will learn about inclusive competitiveness in Northeastern Ohio. They are fortunate that visionary leadership beginning with former Governor Bob Taft, continuing with former Governor Ted Strickland, and current Governor John Kasich has enabled the State of Ohio to position itself advantageously for distinctive national leadership in maximizing the opportunities available within the innovation economy to all of its citizens. Chair Ackerman introduced Lana Moresky, Vice Chair of the BOR to provide greetings. Vice Chair Moresky thanked Chair Ackerman and said that this was a very important topic that they were embarking on. She said they want all of the State of Ohio's citizens to be involved in the economy. She said she is very pleased to be part of the Inclusive Competitiveness Subcommittee because in the 1980s she had the opportunity to work a great deal on MBE and FBE initiatives with the City of Cleveland. These were some of the initial affirmative action efforts relating to economic equality. She sees this as an extension of those initiatives. She did add that there is still a great deal of work in the MBE and FBE areas. 1 Vice Chair Moresky said the OTFC is in effect in Ohio and there is a huge amount of funding being invested in the innovation economy. She said they realized that there wasn't significant attention being given to minorities and women in the innovation economy. This is a huge resource being untapped. She said their resources were going to drive the state forward and this must be realized . She thanked everyone for their time and said she was looking forward to their comments. Chair Ackerman thanked everyone for attending the subcommittee meeting.

Inclusive Competitiveness Overview Chair Ackerman introduced Johnathan Holifield , Vice President of Inclusive Competitiveness of NorTech. Mr. Holifield presented a PowerPoint presentation which can be found as Attachment #1. First, Mr. Holifield explained that the Innovation Economy is the period in the late 201h and early 21 51 centuries marked by radical socioeconomic changes brought about by the simultaneous convergence of these four factors: further globalized commerce; democratized widely available information; exponential entrepreneurship growth; and accelerated creation of new knowledge. Mr. Holifield said that Inclusive Competitiveness is policies, strategies, practices and metrics to improve the performance of underrepresented and diverse populations and communities in the State of Ohio's innovation ecosystems .. Mr. Holifield discussed the impact of a flatter world's effect on the unyielding global competition for jobs. He also discussed the impact of technology adoption and discussed the manufacturing, GOP, and employment statistics in a thirty year period. He indicated that we are in a period where increased productivity is not translating into increased job creation. Mr. Holifield said this leads to this question where will new jobs come, if many more Ohioans do not create them. He said that entrepreneurship was the answer. 'Entrepreneurship is the pursuit of opportunity without regard to resources currently controlled' this is a quote from Professor Howard Stevenson of the Harvard Business School. Mr. Holifield outlined four pillars of Ohio's Innovation Economy and they are: STEM (and STEAM/including arts) education attainment; Higher-growth entrepreneurship; Capital formation and investment; and Policy. He said the Innovation Economy Drivers and the regional ecosystems connect to the national and global ecosystem. He said it begins with people and talent. Mr. Holifield state that Inclusive Competitiveness is an economic imperative and that no state can sustainably increase economic competitiveness without educating enough of the people to create and take advantage of that increased economic competitiveness. If the State of Ohio's economic competitiveness goals do not focus on broad inclusion - inclusion of underrepresented

    CREATING CONNECTIONS: ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, LAND USE, AND THE SYSTEM OF CITIES IN NORTHWEST OHIO DURING THE NINETEENTH CENTURY Matthew D. Bloom A Dissertation Submitted to the Graduate College of Bowling Green State University in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY May 2009 Committee: Andrew M. Schocket, Advisor David Shoemaker Graduate Faculty Representative Edmund J. Danziger, Jr. Timothy F. Messer-Kruse © 2009 Matthew D. Bloom All Rights Reserved iii ABSTRACT Andrew M. Schocket, Advisor Examining how economics, geography, and politics interacted in the expansion and economic changes within the United States, this dissertation investigated the symbiotic relationships and their qualities among the economic transformations of an urban area and its surrounding hinterland throughout the nineteenth century. Specifically, it investigated how the economic and population changes within Toledo, Ohio, molded the development of agricultural hinterlands and how the condition and settlement of the surrounding rural areas shaped the economic changes of Toledo. The quality of transportation connections among Toledo and other nascent towns, market interactions among residents, and the relationships between land quality and usage provided for symbiotic economic development of urban areas and rural hinterlands. The ability to use certain transportation infrastructures, the condition of land, and the availability of natural resources determined the type, quantity, and strength of market connections among people, which influenced the amount and forms of economic change for the area. Conclusions of this study were drawn from analyzing census records, newspaper advertisements and editorials, agricultural reports, and business records and literature. This research introduced a new paradigm of regional economic change named the “subregional model” which included a hub, local economic centers, small villages and farms, and links of various qualities.

  • OHFOOD: an Ohio Food Industries Input-Output Model (Year 2010, Version 13.0, June 2012)
    OHFOOD: An Ohio Food Industries Input-Output Model (Year 2010, Version 13.0, June 2012) by Thomas L. Sporleder1 Abstract OHFOOD, an acronym for Ohio food, is a sophisticated input-output model. The model is designed specifically to capture the interdependencies and linkages among various sectors and industries composing the complex economy of Ohio. The input-output model of Ohio's economy also maintains substantial detail on the food and agricultural sectors, referred to as the agrifood supply chain. The interindustry model describes the linkages among various sectors of the economy and is designed specifically to provide estimates of the economic importance of the food and agriculture-related cluster, along with the general manufacturing and service sectors, of the Ohio economy. In addition, OHFOOD provides several types of economic multipliers for detailed food and agriculture-related sectors of the economy. This abstract is a brief overview of the importance of food and agriculture to the state's economy, based on the interindustry model. The analysis indicates that for 2010 the food and agricultural cluster of Ohio's economy contributed 11.7 percent of the output, added 10.7 percent to Ohio’s gross state product, and accounted for 14.0 percent of the total employment in the Ohio economy. The agrifood cluster of the Ohio economy accounts for 1 of every 7 jobs in Ohio. Of these, over 93,000 jobs are in production agriculture with over an additional 59,000 just in food processing. In 2010, the Ohio economy generated a gross state product (GSP) of $477.7 billion.

Ed., A.M. ****** The Ohio State University 1968 Approved by Adviser Department of History. PREFACE This dissertation concerns the public life of Negro Ohioans, their standing in the wider society of Ohio and their responses to this. It deals, to be more explicit, with the conditions of Negroes in relation to employment, housing and education; their treatment in public accommo­ dations; and their role in politics and government. The organizational response of Negroes to the status of the Negro population of Ohio is also stressed. Each of these factors is discussed in relation to the periods 1914-1919, I92O-I929 and 1950-1 9 3 9 * The research for this monograph was done in sources deposited in government, museum and university libraries. This dissertation is not, per se, cultural, social or intellectual history of the Negro in Ohio. Therefore, it is not basically concerned with the development of Negro' groups and institutions, e.g., families, churdæs, schools and fraternal organizations. Likewise, it does not cover the development of Negro art, music and drama. These as­ pects of the history of the Negro in Ohio are worthy of study and hopefully will be researched.

  • Ohio the Many Sides of the Forest Economy
    1 The many sides of the forest economy Letter from State Forester Ohio’s forest products industry contributes $15 billion to the Ohio economy, employs over 119,000 people and generates payrolls that exceed $4 billion dollars. The forest economy is influenced by a wide variety of market segments that include timber harvesting, lumber and veneer production, furniture and cabinet manufacturing, paper manufacturing and a healthy export market for logs and lumber. Economic contributions are also made by non-timber related products such as maple syrup and Christmas trees. Forests are unique in that their values can be enjoyed in a wide variety of ways. They can be expressed in terms of recreational enjoyment such as hiking, camping, hunting, fishing or the simple enjoyment of autumn colors. Forest values also can be expressed in returns to environmental quality like clean air and water, such as when forests protect municipal watersheds. Recently, a new value has been created with the advent of the carbon credits market. The list of benefits that the forest provides is extensive to be sure, but would not be complete if it did not include the economic returns that are provided in employment, output and income. This report details those values and the benefits they have on the economy of Ohio. John Dorka, State Forester & Chief Division of Forestry Ohio Department of Natural Resources Economics of the Forest Products Industry in Ohio 2 Highlights The state of Ohio has approximately 8.1 million acres under forest cover, which is 30% of Ohio’s land area. The forests in Ohio are composed of 96% hardwood tree species and 4% softwood tree species.

Also, OHFOOD provides several types of economic multipliers for detailed food and agriculture-related sectors of the economy. This executive summary provides a brief overview of the importance of food and agriculture to the state's economy, based on the interindustry model. The analysis indicates that for 2006 the food and agricultural cluster of Ohio's economy contributed 11 percent of the output, added 8 percent to Ohio's gross state product, accounted for 14 percent of the total employment, and contributed 8 percent of total income. In 2006, the Ohio economy generated a gross state product (GSP) of $461.3 billion. The food and agricultural cluster's share of this GSP was $38.3 billion, or $8.31 of each $100 of Ohio GSP. For 2006 the contributions to GSP for the five components of the agrifood cluster are $1.7 billion for farm inputs, machinery, and professional services; another $2.6 billion from agricultural production; about $12.4 billion from processing; an additional $12.8 from food wholesaling and retailing; and another $8.7 billion in food services.
