WELCOME

appy Fall! I’m just going to say it: This is a fantastic issue. You will be well served to settle in and read it cover to cover. We have a great article about our growing Cincinnati-Dayton mega-region. In-depth coverage of 18 candidates running for Cincinnati City Council (check out cincinnatibusinessvotes. com for even more information from the Cincinnati Chamber on this topic). And a terrific feature story about leaders in the region’s growing Indian-American community. But I really want to point you to the profile story about the retiring CEO of Procter & Gamble, David Taylor. This “exit interview” tells you exactly what you need to know about him—that David’s leadership of P&G and his commitment to this community will leave a generational impact. He helped P&G achieve new heights of success in a changing global economy, while also navigating the pandemic and a proxy battle. All the while, outside of his day job, David provided significant leadership to take care of our Cincinnati community at crucial moments. Many of us have been lucky to work alongside David on one endeavor or another. I can attest that we’re all better leaders because he’s been the CEO of Procter & Gamble. I know you join me in saying “thank you” to him for his tremendous record of business success and personal impact across our community.
