Annual Report DANIEL BETTS Daniel E Annual Report DANIEL BETTS DANIEL Dear Friends of CRC: The Cincinnati Recreation Commission’s mission is to create exceptional recreational experiences through our programs and facilities. We embrace Cincinnati’s spirit by creating a culture of lifelong personal growth. 2018 was an excellent year at CRC. Our goal was to provide programs that enhanced personal health and wellbeing while being recognized as a leader in recreation. Last October we launched our Business Plan to gain a new focus on programming and facilities that better meet the needs of our communities. This Program and Facilities Business Plan will serve as our road map for the next five years. Our team spent countless hours with citizens, community partners, CRC staff, local government leaders, City Councilmembers, the City Manager and the Mayor, as a way to receive valuable input to inform our business plan. I ask that you take a moment to read our roadmap for the future. Please visit www.cincyrec.org to read our full business plan. I will be spending the next several months sharing our business plan across the city. Working together, we will make Cincinnati a better place to live, work and play. Sincerely, Daniel E.

    Carl H. Lindner, Jr. - Cincinnati Business Titan Passes Away at Age 92 October 18, 2011 12:10 PM ET CINCINNATI, Oct 18, 2011 (BUSINESS WIRE) -- Carl Henry Lindner, Jr., innovative, self-made builder of businesses that employ thousands, generous philanthropist, loving husband, father and devout Christian, passed away yesterday, at the age of 92, from causes incident to age. He was surrounded by his wife, sons and other family members. At the time of his death, he was Chairman of the Board of American Financial Group, Inc., a major financial services company he founded in 1959. He was one of the most successful corporate financiers in the nation. Mr. Lindner was born in Dayton, Ohio in 1919, and the family moved to Cincinnati in 1930 when he was 11 years old. He developed industrious habits and a devotion to his community at a young age. Mr. Lindner dropped out of school at age 15, at the bottom of the Depression, and began working countless hours a day, delivering milk door-to-door while attending high school classes at night. In 1940, he opened an ice cream shop with his father, brothers and sister. Working with his family, he transformed the milk delivery business into what is now known as United Dairy Farmers, originally a milk and dairy store which launched Mr. Lindner's career as a self-made businessman and entrepreneur. Over the course of his distinguished business and investment career, Mr. Lindner held controlling interests in such notable organizations as Great American Insurance Group, General Cable Corporation, The Penn Central Corporation, Hanna-Barbera Productions, Kings Island Company, the former Taft Broadcasting Company, The Cincinnati Enquirer, The Cincinnati Reds, Chiquita Brands International Inc., and The Provident Bank.

  • Massmutual Buys Great American Life for $3.5 Billion | 1
    MassMutual buys Great American Life for $3.5 billion | 1 MassMutual buys Great American Life for $3.5 billion By Editorial Staff Thu, Jan 28, 2021 MassMutual was the sales leader in fixed-rate deferred annuities through the first nine months of 2020, with $5.18 billion in sales. This acquisition makes it an instant player in the fixed indexed annuity business. Massachusetts Mutual Life Insurance Company has agreed to buy Great American Life Insurance Company, a leading issuer of fixed and fixed indexed annuities, from American Financial Group, Inc. (NYSE:AFG), a company controlled by the billionaire Lindner family of Cincinnati. The purchase price is $3.5 billion, subject to adjustment at closing, according to a news release. The transaction is expected to close in the second quarter of 2021, subject to regulatory and other necessary approvals. Great American Life will operate as an independent subsidiary of MassMutual. MassMutual was the US sales leader in fixed-rate deferred annuities through the first nine months of 2020, with $5.18 billion in sales. This acquisition makes it an instant player in the fixed indexed annuity business as well. Great American sold $1.77 billion worth of FIAs in the first three quarters of 2020, ranking ninth. “This transaction is symbiotic,” Sheryl Moore, CEO of Wink Inc., the annuity data and marketing shop in Des Moines. “MassMutual, in addition to having a robust life insurance line, dominates the multi-year guaranteed annuity market and has competitive variable annuities too. Great American complements them with its strong market share in the fixed, indexed, and structured annuity segments.

    VOLUME 32, FALL 2017 business.uc.edu Record enrollments lead to new Carl III and Craig business school building in 2019 Cincinnati MBA earns nation’s biggest four-year rankings jump LINDNER in U.S. News & World Report Brothers lead Fortune 500 company as Co-CEOs of American Financial Group Message from the Dean The University of Cincinnati Carl H. Lindner College of Business has undergone quite a transformation over the past few years. We’ve set new all-time records in terms of student applications, student enrollment, student professional experiences and student quality at both the undergraduate and graduate level and our programs have received national acclaim from a wide variety of sources. This past year was no different. Once again, we set records for incoming freshman enrollment and student quality. Our full-time MBA program was again ranked one of the Top 50 public MBA programs in the country by both U.S. News & World Report and Bloomberg Businessweek and our part-time MBA program earned the largest rankings jump of any MBA program in the United States over the past four years in U.S. News & World Report. Additionally, CEO Magazine ranked our online MBA one of the Top 20 programs in North America. While it’s certainly been rewarding to be a part of the Lindner College of Business’ recent figurative transformation, this past year it has been especially gratifying to see a matching physical transformation begin to take place. We announced plans for the construction of a new home for the University of Cincinnati’s business school a little more than a year ago and now the construction phase is in full effect.

  • Carl Lindner Jr. (1919 – 2011) Had to Drop out of School at the Age of 14 to Work on His Family’S Dairy Farm During the Great Depression
    Carl Lindner Jr. (1919 – 2011) had to drop out of school at the age of 14 to work on his family’s dairy farm during the Great Depression. Through hard work and ingenuity, however, he rose to become one of the world’s richest people. According to the 2006 issue of Forbes Magazine, Lindner was ranked as No. 133 on that list with a worth estimated at $2.3 billion. He began his career by helping to expand his family’s dairy business into United Dairy Farmers, a large chain of convenience stores. With his three sons, he controlled about 42 percent of American Financial Group, a holding company in Cincinnati, Ohio, whose primary business is insurance and investments. Lindner was a part owner and chief executive officer of the Cincinnati Reds baseball team until he sold a majority interest to a group led by Robert Castellini on Nov. 2, 2005, and stepped down as CEO. In 1997, Lindner was inducted into the Junior Achievement Hall of Fame. The Lindner family has supported several Cincinnati private schools, including Cincinnati Hills Christian Academy, which was founded by the Lindners. Most recently, in June 2011, The University of Cincinnati honored Lindner by renaming the College of Business the Carl H. Lindner College of Business after him in recognition of his and his family’s contributions to the college, university, and business community. Lindner, who died on Oct. 17, 2011, at the age of 92, was affectionately known throughout the Cincinnati region as “Uncle Carl.” Some remember he kept himself stimulated by carrying with him a stack of cards with motivational or inspirational sayings printed on them.
