New Voices. New Ideas. New Ohio.✨

What does the future of leadership in Ohio look like, and who gets to help shape it?

Yesterday, I had the pleasure of moderating “New Voices from New Sources” at the Ohio Chamber of Commerce’s 2026 Corporate Responsibility & Opportunity Summit in Columbus.

Our conversation explored the growing influence of ethnic chambers of commerce, community organizations, and entrepreneurs in creating opportunities, strengthening business communities, and redefining leadership across Ohio.

Thank you to our panelists:

Amanda Cole,
@plexuslgbt

Christina Mendez,
@dythispanicchamber

Kate Sullivan, @greatercolumbuschinesechamber

Su He
Greater Cleveland Chinese Chamber of Commerce

Thank you for your candor, sincerity, and genuine passion for moving Ohio forward. Your perspectives made for a thoughtful and engaging conversation about leadership, opportunity, and the future of business in our state.

A special thank you to @ehk009, @stevestivers, and the @ohiochamber for the invitation and opportunity to contribute to such an important conversation.

New voices deserve more than a seat at the table. They deserve a role in shaping what comes next.
