8:45 - 9:15 a.m. - Check-In  and Coffee in H-Building, Room 101 

9:30 - 10:30 a.m. - Dennis Eckart  Presents: Visions for Northeast Ohio 
As an elected official for  almost 20 years and most recently as president 
of the nation's largest chamber  of commerce, the Greater Cleveland Growth 
Association, Dennis E. Eckart has seen  a lot of changes. Eckart's insights 
into how our region can better compete to  recruit top job talent and be more 
competitive in keeping our own home-grown  talent, including our kids and 
grandkids, here at home is a challenge that  requires us all to become part 
of the solution. The former congressman will talk  about the ebb and flow of 
political power, the changing demographics of Ohio,  and what we can do in 
our own backyard to help make a difference. 

10:45 - 11:45 a.m. - Irish Music and Cultural Heritage with Bob  Coughlin 
A Lakeland English Professor and student of  Irish-Gaelic, Bob Coughlin, 
will discuss traditional Irish music and the  cultural heritage (poetry, 
stories, religion, even food culture) of  Ireland--much of which was brought by 
Irish immigrants to Northeast Ohio. There  will be music and songs (jigs, 
reels and airs), some in Irish -Gaelic, with a  bit of audience participation. 

12:00 - 12:45 p.m. - FREE  LUNCH - Breakers Dining Hall 

1:00 - 2:00 p.m. - The Stories  Behind the Great Lakes Exposition, with 
Local Historian, Rebecca  McFarland
The Great Lakes Exposition was an event that was world  class, comparable 
to the World’s Fairs that were so popular at that time. The  Expo was held on 
Cleveland’s waterfront during the summer of 1936 to celebrate  the 
centennial anniversary of the incorporation of the city. The event was so  
successful that it was held over for a second summer in 1937. Rebecca McFarland,  
Euclid Public Library coordinator of community relations, will show slides  
demonstrating an era when our waterfront was the “place to be.” It was a time  
when big name entertainers, athletes from the Olympics, and dazzling 
displays  from around the world made Cleveland the vacation destination for 
millions of  Americans.
