John CranleyWe welcome the Honorable Mr. John Cranley, the Mayor of Cincinnati, as our very special Keynote Speaker for this year’s gala.

We will be hosting our event with a new and timely theme “LEADERSHIP – ACTING OUT OUR VALUES!”

For the first time, this year’s event will be conducted in collaboration with the Greater Cincinnati Chinese Music Society and Orchestra which will be performing their now famous Chinese New Year Annual Concert immediately after our main Gala Event.

The annual Lunar New Year Gala is a very important tradition of our Chamber and of the Chinese and most of Asian cultures. We will continue on the excitement and the great significance of the events following our Chamber’s first regional International Trade Delegation to China this past December, delegation which culminated with our participation at the first ever China International Import Expo in Shanghai and the signing of the MOU of friendship and partnership between our Greater Cincinnati region and the municipality of Chongqing.
