Week 6: Cincinnati, OH & Pittsburgh, PA

September 26-28, 2023

For week 6 of the #PowerBetter road show tour, I worked with the Great Lakes district to plan and execute their events in Cincinnati, Ohio and Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

Key Takeaway: With planning these events, I saw how important is to be in clear communication with who you are working with. There were a few miscommunications on a couple different things for one of the events, and there were certain items missing or people showing up late. It wasn’t anything I was directly involved with, but it would have been helpful for any one of us to double check with who we were working with to confirm we were all on the same page.

Favorite Food: In Cincinnati, I made the visit to Skyline Chili and got their classic 3-way, spaghetti covered in their special chili with shredded cheese. I also stopped by Grater’s ice cream to have some of their iconic chocolate chip flavors. While it may not have been the most healthy night, it certainly was a good one.

Highlights: While in Cincinnati, I drove by the house our family used to live in years ago. We didn’t live there for long and I was very young, but I do remember meeting my brother for the first time in that house, backyard cookouts with neighbors, and the pond where we held the funeral for our first pet fish. It was really cool to come back as an adult and see a place I grew up in. See the recent and older pictures of the house below!
