Leadership Exchange

As a cornerstone of our work to chart a growth agenda for the region, the Cincinnati Chamber’s Leadership Exchange, brought to you by our Excellence Investors Delta Air Lines, Norfolk Southern and P&G, provides a unique opportunity to learn first-hand how peer and aspirational cities partner and collaborate to achieve growth. In Atlanta, we learned about their regional growth dynamics, with a focus on their initiatives and strategies that have attracted and cultivated a diverse talent base. We also focused on how Atlanta’s cultural vibrancy is contributing to talent attraction efforts and contributes to the strength of their business landscape.

In the decade since the Chamber last visited Atlanta on a trip like this, the region has added more than 700,000 residents. We knew there was much to learn from a city that has so intentionally focused on attracting businesses, welcoming people, and building a culturally vibrant community.

This year’s trip took place June 10-12, 2024 and was an opportunity for senior business and civic leaders to immerse themselves in Atlanta to learn from the leaders making things happen, and return to Cincinnati with a vision for how to apply those lessons to support a growing Cincinnati region.
