Tell us about a recent forum that you enjoyed:
The March 1st forum with Peter Pronovost from University Hospitals. Peter's talk was very inspiring to not only myself but to most in the audience stressing the point that one person with an idea through cooperative collaboration is able to spark world changing action. I'm hoping that those who were there and those who watched the online archived broadcast will take up his "I Will" challenge and commit to action on an issue they are personally passionate about and will also begin seeking out and creating Micro Moments of Love in their own lives.
Why you are a member of the City Club?
I believe they provide an incredible service for our community, allowing residents an opportunity to learn about relevant social and political issues affecting our community and themselves on a local, national and international level and also a chance to participate in those dialogues. The City Club of Cleveland produces and promotes an unbiased platform for free speech and interactive discourse regarding all manner of things.
