• A Champion is any individual who has an idea and the desire, energy and willingness to make that idea a reality for Greater Cleveland. Champions are dedicated, passionate, and knowledgeable about their initiative. Just as important, champions are willing to take risks, including financial, career, and reputation risk. There is no one background, education or experience that makes someone a champion, but rather intangible qualities such as motivation, ingenuity, thoughtfulness and willingness to work hard are what make a champion. Thomas Mulready and Cool Cleveland are Civic Innovation Lab "Champions."
