This event has ended, but don't worry we have a new forum each week!
Civic engagement is the backbone of a thriving democracy—but in the era of polarization and stretched resources, no single sector will strengthen it alone. From public media to philanthropy, business to education, Central Ohio’s leading institutions are working together to rebuild trust, expand participation, and connect people to the decisions that shape their lives. This forward-looking conversation brings together cross-sector leaders forging partnerships that make civic life stronger, more inclusive, and more impactful. What models are working? Where are the gaps? And how can our region’s most influential organizations inspire—and sustain—a deeper culture of civic participation?
Featuring Dr. Frederic Bertley, President & CEO, COSI, and CEO (Interim), The National Veterans Memorial and Museum; Meghan Cummings, President & CEO, Philanthropy Ohio; Sandy Doyle-Ahern, President, EMH&T, with moderator Sophia Fifner, President & CEO, Columbus Metropolitan Club. | Columbus Metropolitan Club Annual Meeting to precede the forum.
