High Stakes and New Leaders: Assessing What Cleveland Needs

This is a pivotal moment for Greater Cleveland. With an open election in the Cleveland mayor\'s office for the first time in 16 years, an open congressional seat in the 11th district, a 2022 county executive race already heating up, and contested city council races in 16 of 17 Cleveland wards. All of this is happening amidst the pressing issues of entrenched poverty and racial inequities, a push for policing reform and criminal justice reform, rising homicide rates, and deep needs for community and economic development. So, what kind of leadership does this moment call for? With all the challenges of the last year, and the aspirations of our community, what kind of leadership qualities are required for our collective success?\r\nProduction and distribution of City Club forums in partnership with ideastream is generously provided by PNC and the United Black Fund. \r\n
