WELCOME TO CINCINNATI 2030:  SOME BACKGROUND

 

Cincinnati 2030 is the name of the Cincinnati Jewish community's plan for strengthening our community by the year 2030. It is a successor to Cincinnati 2020, our community's plan for the previous decade. We are proud of the plan that resulted in intensive capacity-building for our community that we can build on moving forward. Both plans are based on a commitment to being community-driven with stakeholders from across the Jewish community, and a commitment to using the research of a community study as the ground from which to move.  Both were convened by the Jewish Federation in its convener/planner role as our community backbone organization. Starting in 2019, right before COVID happened, the Cincinnati 2030 Steering Committee met for two years to develop the framework and goals you see on this webpage. This framework and goals will be what our community continues to depend on, moving forward.
