Is this more Fund for Our Economic Future type meet up? (FFEF was a multi-million $ diversionary waste and sucker punch/public “pounding the pillow” preventing NEO improvement IMHO.)
Sadly missing on the Cleveland365.com list of discussion topics is “INTELLIGENT, HONEST, OPEN GOVERNMENT FOR NEO” because with out improvement in the governance arena here in NEO, we will continue to see economic deterioration and emigration.
We sorely need 10,000 MEGA improvements in governance – then maybe the other areas will make headway as well.

What kind of life do they really want to live? They want to believe in Cleveland, but don't know the right ways to do so. Back in the day when I was trying to bring the local "networking" folks together around Drupal, and hosting the Excellence Roundtable, REALNEO arranged for GEN-X/Y Guru Rebecca Ryan to come to Cleveland for several days of really fascinating discussions on making NEO a next generation region, and the establishment network and GenX/Y folks all snubbed this....

I'm not too old for this and I enjoy a good brainstorming but only for good cause... and, I don't see a cause at all for this, and don't see a need to support anything about any of the sponsors, and I don't like anything about the concept, as described below.... perhaps I'll go to the Sherwin-Williams-sponsored breakout session and suggest they help eradicate lead poisoning!

About 10,000 Little (micro) Ideas to Keep You Believing in Cleveland:
At the most recent event in March 2007, with more than 400 diverse emerging leaders in attendance, over a 1,000 ideas were generated in an effort to improve the future of the Region and those who call Cleveland home. Attendees had the opportunity to visit seven Idea breakout sessions which included: Lifestyle, Economic Growth, How to Master the Cleveland Market, Green, Nonprofit, Idea Incubator, and Sustainable Cleveland. Each room was sponsored by associated organizations that provided expertise and insight for the selected topics.
Mission:
10,000 Little (micro) Ideas to Keep You Believing in Cleveland was started by a small group of Emerging Leaders with a vision to provide an outlet for residents to share and implement ideas to improve the Region.

"are likely to choose a location before finding a job. They like downtown living, public transportation and plenty of entertainment options. They view diversity and tolerance as marks of sophistication."
I am going to criticize this generation, because they are one of the first to leave my neighborhood. Rebecca Ryan may be an exception, but where is she now? As soon as the baby pops out, they are gone. There is no commitment to work and change something that is wrong. There is a lot of blaming...pick up and leave. I am dealing with this attitude with my coworkers. Let someone else fix the problem. Adios...
I know two 20/30 bright, young professional staffers, who try every day to make a difference. Johanna/Darren, please stay and make this community work. You have already moved mountains :)
Norm--can you get UCI to see the commitment you have made to their service area?? You are not alone. Does Chris Ronayne know about the Inner Circle? Will he stop by on Tuesday?

I agree
When will the "powers" recognize that money is not the sole motivator? What kind of life do you really want to live.
Rebecca Ryan addressed that well
