Throughout 2006, the Columbus Metropolitan Club has enthusiastically celebrated 30 years of community conversation by exploring global trends, reflections from past leaders, the vision of developers, the possible rebirth of streetcars, just to name a few of the extraordinary forums from the 30th celebration series.

As we're winding down the celebration year, what a better way than to ask some of Columbus' best positioned leaders from major segments of our community to explore the future of Columbus.

Hey, nonprofits, business, education, city government, what's ahead?

What are the greatest challenges, opportunities, pitfalls and windfalls that lie around the next bend in Columbus' road? What goals should we be setting for our city? Who's in charge? Who is and who should take the lead? What elements are missing? What are the strengths we should emphasize? What do we need to "fix"?
