President’s Message

As we head into the fourth quarter, our efforts turn to gearing up for next year.  Believe it or not, it’s almost time to start the 2025 grant review cycle.  Teams are already working behind the scenes to make process adjustments to ensure an even better experience for both members and our nonprofit partners.

The fourth quarter is also recruiting and membership renewal season. Remember, we are accelerating the schedule this year to allow for a fast start in January.  2025 membership deadline is November 15!  Please renew your membership as soon as you can.

Furthermore, we are convinced that Impact 100 is one of the best kept secrets in Greater Cincinnati.  You can help change that.  This newsletter contains lots of great information about how to introduce Impact to your friends through Spread the Word events and Happy Hours.  

During the month of August, board members and several general members reached out to all members by phone to thank you for being a member.  Through this process, we got tremendous feedback that will help us plan our future.  Thank you for taking our calls and listening to our messages.  

In the spirit of continuous improvement and learning, we are initiating Monthly Office Hours.  Every second Thursday at noon, I will be available by zoom for any questions, suggestions or other thoughts you have about Impact that can help improve the organization and your experience as a member.  Feel free to join us October 10 at noon, through this zoom link: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/82238684349?pwd=35SVyaqvfg8jblRbbps2WKgOwa3eoH.1&from=addon

I look forward to seeing you online and in person at the many events coming up.  As always, if you have suggestions, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me at President@impact100.org.  

Have a great month!

Janet Collins
