ACCOMPLISHMENTS<br />
INTERNATIONAL SUPPORT<br />
On Tuesday, October 5, 1999 the <strong>Planning</strong> and Zoning department staff hosted 22 visitors<br />
from China—residents of Guang Zhou (“Gwong Zho”), formerly named Canton, and Gui<br />
Zhou (“Gway Zho”) - both are very dense cities of about 5 million people. Our guests were<br />
experts in land management and development. They were interested in learning about US<br />
land planning and the role of local government in land management, enforcement and<br />
implementation of plans. Our interpreter was from Proctor & Gamble who has a<br />
headquarters in Guang Zhou.<br />
As a token of their appreciation they presented us with a Chinese scroll—a work of art—that was<br />
presented to the Board of <strong>County</strong> Commissioners at their meeting on Wednesday, October 13, 1999.<br />
RIVERFRONT ANALYSIS<br />
In November of 1999, the Regional <strong>Planning</strong> Commission was asked to give input to the<br />
Riverfront Advisors regarding their plan for the Cincinnati Riverfront.<br />
LEADERSHIP<br />
Executive Director, Ron Miller, provided leadership and external support services as<br />
Chairman of the Cincinnati Area Geographic Information System Policy Board, President of<br />
the <strong>County</strong> <strong>Planning</strong> Directors Association of <strong>Ohio</strong> and as a member of Cincinnatus and a<br />
1999 graduate of Leadership Cincinnati<br />
TRAINING<br />
Two staff members of The <strong>Hamilton</strong> <strong>County</strong> Regional <strong>Planning</strong> Commission were<br />
commended for their participation as instructors for the Training and Development Division of<br />
the <strong>County</strong>. Together, Tim Horsley and Caroline Andrews instructed 10 FrontLine Leadership<br />
sessions, reaching over 75 <strong>County</strong> employees from many organizations. Their work will have<br />
an impact on each of those training participants and , in turn, on their organizations. By<br />
making time to instruct, Tim and Caroline are helping our <strong>County</strong>’s employees become more<br />
highly-skilled and professional.<br />
