Today, we mourn the loss of President Jimmy Carter and reflect on the extraordinary leadership he exemplified throughout his life. Our leadership visited the Carter Center this fall and discussed his incredible contributions at a local, state, national, and global level. A life well lived.

Its the most wonderful time of the year....Partly because we just welcomed the 2025 Class of the African American Leadership Academy into their development journey. These 40 dynamic leaders add voice and vision to so many local organizations and companies and we are honored to curate a leadership development experience that will only enhance their trajectory and efficacy. Congratulations on your selection Classes 24 & 25. Special thank you to Councilmembers Shayla Favor and Nick Bankston for hosting us at City Hall. Our 20th Anniversary year is already looking bright! #lifebydesign #AALAColumbus #Leadershipdevelopment #economicmobility #civicengagement

Last week, Pres/CEO David Zak attended the incredible ED411 event put on by One Columbus. Not only were the keynote speakers Kevin Ervin Kelley, AIA and Peter Goodwin from the The New York Times amazing, the entire Columbus region was on full display with unreasonable hospitality, celebrating success and pushing for more. Thanks to Kenny McDonald and so many great team members, including Gerard Basalla, Mark Patton, Matthew McCollister, Joseph P. Henderson, CEcD, Rich Fletcher, Logan Dawson, Stephen Cone, Amy Harman, Abby Perkins, MBA, Jeffrey Polesovsky, Briauna Portis-McClendon, Haley Young, Bailey Zidar, Deborah Scherer, CGBP, Andy Gurd and so many more. Also kudos to Rick Szabrak for representing MID-OHIO DEVELOPMENT EXCHANGE, Gahanna Mayor Laurie Jadwin, and others for making remarks. Incredible facts about the Columbus Region since One Columbus was created in 2010: 🔹74,849 jobs created 🔹$4.1B in new payroll 🔹$46.4B in capital investment 🔹800 successful projects 🔹Top metro area 11 consecutive years (Site Selection) 🔹Top economic development organization 7 consecutive years 🔹 On an investment of $100M into One Columbus - what an ROI!
