Take a look at what's coming up at the Exchange Club of Eastern Hills. We've put real work into bringing in speakers our members and guests will genuinely want to hear from, and the next several months are loaded. If you've ever wanted to bring a friend, neighbor, or colleague to a meeting, now is the time. Friday mornings, 8:00 AM at the Anderson Center.
May 8 — Benjamin Gunderson, City Manager, City of Milford
Sworn in as Milford's City Manager in December 2024, Ben is leading the city's biggest planning push in years, including a recently unveiled set of downtown development concepts that could top $100 million. A timely conversation if you live, work, or do business anywhere along the Little Miami corridor.
May 22 — Chief Jamey Mills (Milford Police) and Chief Baird (Milford Fire)
A rare back-to-back from the two leaders running Milford's public safety operations. Expect candid perspective on community policing, fire and EMS response, and what it takes to keep a growing city safe.
June 5 — Kirk Charlton, Art Inside Out
Kirk built Art Inside Out around a trauma-informed arts curriculum that has helped people across very different settings find their voice through creative expression. His story is one of the most personally moving you'll hear all year.
June 26 — Georgia Kent, Engraft Learning Network
Engraft is a national learning network led by Cincinnati Children's that connects 13+ pediatric and adult transplant centers to improve outcomes for patients undergoing bone marrow transplant and cellular therapy. A look at how Cincinnati is leading nationally on a problem that touches a lot of families.
July 10 — Barbara Lownsbury, The Dented Fender
Barb is a speaker, author, and entrepreneur who founded The Dented Fender, a ministry built on the idea that the dents in our lives don't define us. Her book, Using What's Broken to Boldly Shine, captures the heart of what she'll bring to the room.
July 24 — Bridget Behrmann, YMCA of Greater Cincinnati (M.E. Lyons branch)
Bridget has spent more than two decades in leadership roles across the YMCA of Greater Cincinnati and now serves as VP of Operations. A great window into how the Y is showing up across our community far beyond the gym floor.
August 7 — OFFSITE: Tri-State Warbird Museum (11:30 AM start)
Mark this one. We're meeting offsite at one of the region's hidden gems, a private nonprofit aviation museum in Batavia dedicated to fully restored, fully operational WWII aircraft. Two 100x100 hangars, an active restoration shop, and a collection that has flown in films and at Oshkosh. Bring a guest who likes history, aviation, or a great story.
August 21 — Joy Lytle, President & CEO, Clermont Chamber of Commerce
Joy leads a Chamber of more than 700 businesses, recently awarded 5-Star Accreditation by the U.S. Chamber. With 25+ years across business, nonprofit, and government, she brings a sharp read on where Clermont County's economy is heading.
October 9 — Dan McNally, VP Soccer in the Community, FC Cincinnati
Dan leads FCC's community work, including the mini-pitch program putting free, accessible soccer fields into neighborhoods across the region. With Milford's own FC Cincinnati roots and a new mini-pitch coming online locally, this one will resonate.
October 23 — Susan Graham, President & CEO, Child Focus
Susan leads one of the region's most important nonprofits, providing mental health, early childhood, and family services across Greater Cincinnati. Her perspective on what's working (and what's not) in how we support kids and families is one you'll think about for a while.
This is the kind of lineup that's worth showing up for, and even better when you bring someone with you. If you're a member, think about a friend, prospect, or community leader who would connect with one of these speakers, and invite them to come as your guest. If you've never been, this is a great window in.
Select Friday mornings, 8:00 AM, Anderson Center, 7850 Five Mile Rd. More at exchangeclubofeasternhills.org.
