We are proud to present  three annual events where people from all parts 
of community development can meet with each other.

 
                                      Awards Celebration in June 
     At the start of the summer, we like to honor those in the community for their 
work and dedication to development and affordable housing. We offer seven 
categories for MOST OUTSTANDING: Executive Director, Volunteer, Collaborative 
Effort, Project Consultant, City Staffer and Lender.

           Community Development Bus Tour in September / October
     Every neighborhood has outstanding results to show off.   Each year we 
focus on a different neighborhood, hire a bus, and take anyone interested on 
a tour of that area's accomplishments and works in progress.   People from all 
sides of community development gather:   From activists to bankers to other CDCs 
interested in the work of their colleagues.   Previous years' tours have included 
Carthage, Clifton, and Over-the-Rhine. This year we toured Covington, our friends 
on the other side of the river. 

                                  Holiday Reception in December 
    A time to relax and enjoy each others' company.  Our holiday reception is always
free of charge.   It's our way (and our sponsor's way) of thanking you for the hard 
work, the long hours, and the tireless commitment to community development. 

                                          Informational Meetings 
    In collaboration with LISC and the City of Cincinnati, we offer the "Capacity 
Building Academy for Community Development" series. There are about 
5-8 sessions per year with topics ranging from Asset Management to 
Board Development to fundraising and marketing. 

    We welcome your requests/suggestions. Email or call us to request more 
information. In addition to the LISC trainings, we regularly keep track of various 
conferences in the area. Check out the upcoming events page or the calendar 
page in our latest newsletter.


                                                   Roundtables 
    There are plenty of hot button issues to discuss pertaining to community 
development.   Every year we have several roundtables with various subjects 
such as vacant properties, affordable lead abatement, best practices, and 
city policies. These round tables tend to be initiated by relevant issues and 
arise on a need-basis. If you have any ideas for a roundtable or want to gather 
some people to discuss anything, contact us and we will gladly set up a roundtable.
