Introducing “The Pulse”
One of our core functions at the Cincinnati Regional Chamber is to advocate for our members and our region’s business community at-large. Our Government Affairs and Advocacy team – led by my colleague Liz Keating – works hard to ensure that your voices are heard at all levels of government, shaping policies that foster growth, innovation, and a thriving economic environment.
In our ever-evolving political landscape, staying informed about policy developments and advocacy efforts is more important than ever. That’s why I am excited to introduce you to The Pulse – our Policy Updates and Legislative Strategies E-newsletter. The Pulse will provide you with timely updates, analysis, and insights on the legislative and regulatory issues that impact our region. The Pulse is designed to be your go-to resource for understanding the nuances of government actions and their implications for your business. Through this newsletter, we aim to keep you connected and informed about the issues that matter most.

Simply and boldly, we must grow
In the past seven months, we’ve undertaken a comprehensive effort to look at our entire organization and the work we do. We’ve updated our State of the Region report, showing the key indicators of our community, and how we stack up to peers. We’ve done qualitative and quantitative surveys to inform our process. We’ve met with hundreds of stakeholders and engaged in a public effort to lay the groundwork for this new framework.
Yesterday, we officially launched our new strategy – a clear and future-focused framework that will guide us for the next five years. This framework makes a clear statement about what we know must happen in this region. Simply and boldly, we must grow.

This week, I’m saying thank you
Last week, I encouraged you all to go vote. This week, I’m saying thank you.
Whether you voted early or showed up Tuesday to make sure you got your sticker, thank you for being civically engaged and invested in our region. Every act of civic engagement – participating in local elections, volunteering for community initiatives, serving on boards and committees, and more – contributes to the collective well-being of our region. At the Chamber, we’re especially enthusiastic about the passage of Cincinnati Issue 22, which we endorsed and supported throughout the campaign. This will allow the City to create infrastructure jobs and close the deferred maintenance gaps without raising taxes on individuals or businesses.

Do you remember your first internship? The answer usually is: “How could I forget?!” Internships are windows into the future for students, helping them understand the ways and rhythms of work, the possibilities in a career, and the way their education connects to a job.

My favorite breakfast sandwich
It’s called the Dirty Nati. It’s a breakfast sandwich. You can get one at Austin and Tony Ferrari’s small business “Mom ‘n Em” in Camp Washington and Madisonville.
