CLE Rising Summit faces a tough climb.

In less than two months, as many as 1,000 people from around Northeast Ohio are expected to come together at Cleveland Public Auditorium to, as the leaders of the CLE Rising Summit describe it, "set big, exciting and attainable goals that raise our hopes and help to create a strong economic future by 2030". The summit will use Appreciative Inquiry (AI) to define problems and set goals. AI was used at a summit planning session last December where more than 80 invited participants helped decide on what will be discussed at the October event. [Extracted from the article]
