X.U.‘s 7th annual Neighborhood Summit features Rep. Steve Driehaus
Although the theme of Xavier’s 7th annual Neighborhood Summit is “Growing Cincinnati,” the university’s Public Affairs Office tells us it is really applicable to anyone interested in working with government and institutions at the local, county and/or state level. The Neighborhood Summit will be held Saturday, January 24 at Xavier University’s Schiff Conference Center located in the University’s Cintas Center from 7:30 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. Registration is required by either emailing www.investinneighborhoods.com or by faxing (513) 921-5620. The summit and a provided lunch are free with advance reservation.
Cincinnati Mayor Mark Mallory will open the day at 8:15 a.m. Following his remarks, participants will attend breakout sessions. These sessions focus on housing, economy and workforce development. Each session will be offered once during the day by neighborhood leaders, community-based organizations and county, state and city council representatives. At the summit attendees will have a chance to interact with Mayor Mallory, hear state, city, and county officials explain programs and resources, learn how other neighborhoods are successfully addressing community challenges and connect with key area officials.
A pre-summit dinner will be held on Friday, January 23 from 6:30-8:30 p.m. in the Schiff Banquet and Conference Center. The dinner, sponsored by the Community Building Institute, features newly-elected Representative Steve Driehaus. Cost for this dinner is $20 per person. Please reserve a spot at www.investinneighborhoods.com or by faxing (513) 921-5620.
