In Cincinnati, Liz led a department of 25 professionals and oversaw a budget of $2 million. Her department was engaged in a wide range of planning issues, including land use, transportation, downtown, education, housing and economic development.

BACKGROUND: In 2005 OKIs Board of Directors adopted a Strategic Regional

Policy Plan (SRPP), since then much has changed in the region, the nation and the economy, as a result it is being updated and we would like your input. The 2005 SRPP identified regional issues and policy recommendations to improve the quality of life and service to the public across the region.

WHO: WHAT:

The Ohio-Kentucky-Indiana Regional Council of Governments

OKI is updating the SRPP by conducting a public outreach campaign How Do We Grow From Here? to identify current issues of importance in continuing the regions growth. We are asking for your help in the following ways: Participate in an upcoming 20-minute webinar explaining our outreach campaign and a questionnaire for the public that will help us identify conditions, trends and other regional issues that will allow us to establish policy recommendations that communities can use to address its challenges. Share the questionnaire with your network of contacts by placing an announcement and the link www.howdowegrow.org on your website, your Facebook page, your newsletter, and by sending out an email about it. Speak about the questionnaire to your organization, group, class, meeting, or conference and make sure they have the questionnaire link. Wear a How Do We Grow From Here? badge to your meetings and/or make distribute postcards that provides a link where the questionnaire can be accessed (OKI will make these available to you). The questionnaire will be available until December 31, 2012
