Ed Morrison · Milwaukee and Cleveland
June 4th, 2009
The view from my hotel in Milwaukee this morning
Milwaukee and Cleveland have a lot in common. It’s surprising to me that the collaboration between these two cities is not stronger. Milwaukee has some interesting regional initiatives underway.
Chris Thompson, a Milwaukee native now working for the Fund, is a natural connector.

Ed, I grew up in Milwaukee, but am not a native. Native of San Francisco. But that doesn’t let me off the hook. I am working on the connections.

Chris:
Let me know how I can help. I spend a fair amount of time here, so I can assist on this end. The region’s leadership is embracing Strategic Doing and the implementation of “link and leverage” strategies. (I work closely with Julia Taylor at the Greater Milwaukee Committee: http://www.gmconline.org)
I’m clueless in understanding how this idea might fit into the Fund’s agenda, though.
