Global Cleveland’s Annual Meeting is our signature luncheon celebrating the people and partnerships that strengthen our region. Each year, we gather community leaders, partners, and neighbors to reflect on the progress we’ve made together and to share our vision for the year ahead.
This year’s program will highlight:
-
The impact of our work in housing, workforce, entrepreneurship, and leadership.
-
Stories of international newcomers and local leaders building opportunity in Northeast Ohio.
-
Recognition of the individuals and organizations who make a difference through collaboration and innovation.
The Annual Meeting is more than a celebration — it’s a call to action. Together, we are creating a Northeast Ohio where every person has the chance to contribute, succeed, and belong.
Join us as we honor the progress made and look ahead to the opportunities ahead.
