Eric Avner

For the last seven years Eric Avner has served as the Associate Director of the Cincinnati Business Committee. Prior to that, he directed the downtown revitalization efforts for Newport, Kentucky.  Professionaly active around town, he says he’s more proud of community efforts he’s spearheaded “out of the office” such as the creation of the Purple People Bridge, co-chairing the Know Theatre’s Capital Campaign, and – yes – initiating a new media outfit called Soapbox.

Assuming the role of “Citizen Avner,” he will use this space to share his thoughts on Cincinnati's prospects.
