In a rare joint appearance, the mayors of Columbus, Findlay, Lima, and Toledo—Andrew J. Ginther, Christina Muryn, Sharetta Smith, and Wade Kapszukiewicz—will take the stage for a powerful conversation on the future of urban leadership in Ohio. Together, these four leaders represent more than a million Ohioans—nearly 10% of the state’s population. From economic growth and urban development to transit, public safety, and civic engagement, they’ll share their strategies for building stronger, more connected, and more resilient cities. As engines of innovation, talent, and opportunity, Ohio’s cities are critical to driving statewide prosperity. This forum will explore how urban leadership can unlock investment, attract new industries, and shape a more vibrant future for Ohioans.

Featuring Columbus Mayor Andrew J. Ginther; Toledo Mayor Wade Kapszukiewicz; Findlay Mayor Christina Muryn; Lima Mayor Sharetta Smith, with moderator Stacia Naquin, News Anchor, WBNS 10TV.
