Since its inception in 1998, the Forum has tackled a broad range of civic issues including the lakefront plan, economic growth and development, affordable housing, immigration, education, the convention center, poverty, race and sustainable development. The work of the forum is based on the premise that an informed and engaged citizenry is a valuable asset for the region's future growth and prosperity. In 2005, the Forum was recognized by Northern Ohio Live as "a springboard for economic and social progress throughout the region" and in 2003 received the national CivicMind award for its Millennium Program, which worked with area high school students to introduce them to careers in public service. m.harris99@csuohio.edu http://urban.csuohio.edu/forum/media/podcasts/2008/sustainable_2_6_08/forum.jpg http://urban.csuohio.edu/forum Education> http://bijou.urban.csuohio.edu/streaming/forum/podcasts/2008/neworleans_2_22_08/ken.m4a c.eucker@csuohio.edu March 22, 2008: led a team of more than 80 planning students and ACORN leaders in a two-year, resident-driven planning process in New Orleans' 9th Ward, a neighborhood devastated by Hurricane Katrina in 2005.
