Bob Milbourne, Roberta Garber and Betsy Ziegler will premiere the findings from Benchmarking Central Ohio 2009 at the Columbus Metropolitan Club on March 25. The extensive report uses standardized, measurable indicators to track and assess how our community is doing compared to fifteen other similar and "best in class" communities across Ohio and the nation.
The extensive and easily readable report looks at everything from our senior population to Fortune 1,000 companies, female-owned businesses, public transportation, brain gain, smoking and local government to households without a vehicle, professional sports and Wi-Fi hotspots! And, this is just a small sampling of things that are measured.
Key indicators are organized into four groups - population vitality, economic strength, personal prosperity and community wellbeing. The impact of the first study in 2007 was significant with hundreds of copies of the final report printed and downloaded. Last year's report was also released at CMC to a large, inquisitive audience.
This is the third year in the Central Ohio Benchmarking Project initiated by the Columbus Partnership in 2007, who commissioned the non profit research center Community Research Partners to design and conduct the initial and annual work.
Bob is CEO of the Columbus Partnership, Roberta is CEO of Community Research Partners and Betsy is with McKinsey Company.
Don't miss the public premiere and the always lively discussion of this candid look at our community and how we rank.
