My Fellow Transatlanticans,

And here we are, almost in September. This past month saw a fantastic and high-energy Stammtisch on-the-road in Loveland, a Coffee & Commerce event at the University of Cincinnati's 1819 in the Cincinnati Innovation District, from which you will soon see a tangible outcome, new faces at our Dayton Stammtisch, an extraordinary YP event at Queen City Radio with private tour of TQL Stadium (including the locker rooms!), and Oktoberfest with the Germania Society (which I unfortunately missed). The energy I experienced this month was second-to-none, and I cannot express how delighted that makes me!

Our upcoming month will be no less purposeful, eventful and valuable. Following our exclusive industry symposium on September 6, we will have our Stammtisch at the Hofbrauhaus in Newport... likely one of the last outdoors. Our Dayton Stammtisch will continue to be a monthly staple (as its German name suggests) and our Coffee & Commerce will provide a review and key takeaways from our TRANSFORM event on Sustainability as a Competitive Strategy, for those who could not attend. And finally, a Transatlantic Economic Update event for Manufacturers, sponsored by PNC & Roedl VonLehman on September 28.

All of these are as many opportunities for us all to connect, learn and enjoy our community - including our newest Envoy member RA Jones/Coesia!
