After receiving feedback from its membership, the Cincinnatus Association's Executive Committee approved the formation of a 501c3 organization to assume some of the dues and activities of Cincinnatus Association. (Click here for more information on this decision and the new organization.)
Cincinnatus Community Fund Inc. was created and its Articles of Incorporation were filed with the Ohio Secretary of State in February. The following individuals were appointed as trustees and elected as officers in early March:
Al DeJarnett - Trustee, President
Mark Silbersack - Trustee, Vice President
Melinda Kruyer - Trustee, Secretary
Robin Gehl - Trustee, Treasurer
Roger Smith was preliminarily chosen as Executive Director of the new organization while a fifth trustee is pending appointment by the Association's Executive Committee.
Prior to commencing any operations, we will obtain IRS exemption as a 501c3 charitable entity. The application for this exemption was prepared and submitted in late March. [Posted 3/25/11]

10/18/11 Meeting Summary
The Dinner Facility Search is ostensibly narrowed to two locations, Queen City Club and University Club. Final decision was tabled pending resolution of QCC’s bill for our October dinner and the U-Club’s ability to provide satisfactory technology and room function. We currently have 13 open Active status positions. Inactive status was renewed for Tom Conlan, with three Inactive requests still pending.
Discussion continued of dinner attendance and member participation, focused on the disconnect between rolling admissions and new member engagement efforts, concluding that we need to realign our engagement efforts both during the candidate interview process and immediately upon new member entry. Keys to member satisfaction and participation were noted to be engaging dinner and panel meetings and one-to-one invitations to participate.
The Education Panel presented a Certificate of Appreciation from Cincinnati Public Schools for our Association’s contributions to the students and schools. The 2012 Education Awards are tentatively scheduled for 2/7 (a week earlier than our usual meeting date) at NKU. The Arts & Culture Panel noted plans for our November dinner meeting at SCPA, including tours of the new SCPA and Washington Park development. The Government Panel advised of an additional ballot issue (Issue 3) about which it wishes to provide information to our members.
We were updated on the initial stages of the Government Efficiency Task Force. The newsletter is a significant success; we continue to refine the process of news gathering, edit and review. Programs and venues were discussed for future meetings – December will tentatively be a reception at a venue on Fountain Square on 12/6 (a week earlier than our usual meeting date) devoted to celebration, rather than the usual program content; January is tentatively about the Water Technology Cluster at the EPA Labs at UC.
(This information is highly summarized; more detailed information is available from any Committee member or Panel Chair. Executive Committee meetings are open to any Association member.)
