Dear members of ICAI Ohio (USA) Chapter,
While I am sorry I am unable to join you for this weekend's event, it is my genuine pleasure to congratulate you on the official launch of your chapter. On behalf of the entire City of Cincinnati, we are thrilled by this milestone and the collective contributions of the chapter's members.
In City Hall, we are highly invested in many of the same goals as you: equitable economic growth throughout the region, civic engagement, and promoting an entrepreneurial spirit and ecosystem in Cincinnati. Having another esteemed organization in our region, full of distinguished professionals advancing these goals, is a major benefit to our great city.
Thank you for all that you are doing to strengthen relationships across companies and organizations throughout Ohio. As the proud son of an Indian immigrant, I am inspired by our collective work to grow as a global city where all backgrounds are empowered and connected.
It is my honor to offer a warm welcome to Cincinnati, and congratulations again. Please do not hesitate to reach out to me any time, and I look forward to engaging with you all in the near future.
