PARTNERSHIPPERFORMANCEPUBLIC GOOD
To our partners,
Thank you. Whether you’re an individual member, an occasional visitor to our forum, a corporate sponsor, a community organization, a philanthropic contributor, or simply a fan from our radio and television broadcasts or podcasts, you’re a partner. You’re a collaborator in this work to create a stronger community through civic conversation and a fellow free speech fan, even when you disagree with the speaker. You’re a partner, and we can’t do any of this without you.
This practice of teaming up with others in pursuit of a common mission is as important today as it has ever been. With partners in Youngstown and Warren, we created a City Club of the Mahoning Valley. With TV, radio, and print media, universities, and civic organizations from across the state, we worked together to form the Ohio Debate Commission. With MOCA Cleveland and For Freedoms, we continue to convene a series of Town Hall events bringing artists together with community members for unique, almost unprecedented conversations.
Our partners at ideastream continue to help us bring forums to you over the airwaves and across the web. Our friends at the Global Center for Health Innovation are always there when we need to move a forum to a bigger venue. And with venue partners like The Happy Dog and Public Square, philanthropic partners to provide financial support, and community and academic partners to help us think through programming, we can present about 30 percent of our forums with no cost to the audience. That’s what partnerships can accomplish.
We know you count on us, too, as a partner in helping you better understand the issues and ideas shaping the future of our communities, our country, and our globe. We take that responsibility seriously. We thank you for trusting us and supporting us.
And we count on you to let us know what you’re interested in and what kinds of speakers you’d like to hear from. So, as always, if you have forum ideas or feedback, send them our way. We love to hear it.
Partners for a stronger democracy,
Robyn Minter Smyers, President
Dan Moulthrop, CEO

KeyBank has long supported forums, and this year, they took their support to a new level, providing a contribution that matched the corporate sponsorship of 26 school tables at the State of the Schools to support student attendance at City Club forums throughout the year.
Every week, City Club audiences come together to break bread, take stock of the important issues, and engage our speakers in spirited dialogue.

One of our key partners in catalyzing the City Club of the Mahoning Valley is Youngstown State University. From their faculty and financial investment, to their public radio station and engaged student body, YSU’s partnership has helped to turn CCMV from an idea to a reality.
THE CITY’S CLUBThis year we returned to Public Square for a second summer of dialogue about our neighborhoods and to The Happy Dog for another year of tackling world affairs. But we didn’t stop there. Inspired by the understanding that City Club is as much a spirit as it is a place, we took that spirit on the road to Dinner & Dialogues at restaurants throughout the city, to Edgewater Park to discuss diversifying our parks, and to Playhouse Square to partner with the region’s libraries to create One Community Reads featuring Matthew Desmond’s devastatingly important book Evicted. We hosted Ride and Learns, commissioned a series of Freedom of Speech murals to celebrate the 75th anniversary of Elmer Brown’s original mural, and we even helped to launch City Club forums in an entirely new city with City Club of the Mahoning Valley becoming our first new City Club project.

This year, over 2,000 students from 66 schools across Northeast Ohio attended forums for free, thanks to generous donors to our Student Participation Fund. The City Club Youth Forum Council produced six forums which explored everything from affirmative action, to #MeToo, to school safety. For 20 years, the Youth Forum Council has engaged high schoolers to create conversations of consequence for their peers.
In addition, we received nearly 250 submissions to the annual Hope & Stanley Adelstein Free Speech Contest and awarded more than $4,000 in scholarship prizes to the winners.
“ Serving on the Youth Forum Council helped me gain speaking skills I did not have as a freshman and introduced me to people – professors, local and state politicians, activists – I never would have met otherwise. It taught me to be a leader and gave me the courage to use my voice – and amplify others’ voices – in a meaningful way”
- Justin, Student, Hawken Upper School
P A R T N E R S P O T L I G H T
You see them at almost every forum—students from the Cleveland Metropolitan School District—always challenging our speakers with some of the most incisive and penetrating questions. Your support makes their presence possible, and their partnership makes all our forums more meaningful. All of it is part of preparing the next generation for civic life.

We hosted more than 300 events last year—from business breakfasts to lunchtime forums, and company retreats to family weddings. Our kitchen prepared thousands of meals and thanks to our partnership with Rust Belt Riders, more than 1,300 pounds of food waste was diverted from the trash and turned into compost.
