Centennial Moments

Thirteen Indelible Videos of Foundation Pacesetting in 100 Seconds Each 

During the 18 months leading up to the Cleveland Foundation’s centenary, staff members from every foundation department researched and wrote profiles of some of the many individuals who have left an indelible mark on the organization or overviews of important chapters in the foundation’s history. Once expert on their chosen subjects, the profilers prepared talks on their findings, which were presented to their colleagues at monthly staff meetings. The “Centennial Moments” briefs were so well received that the foundation decided to preserve digital highlights of each presentation. These short but memorable videos are archived here for the enjoyment of all. Produced by Susan Christopher of the foundation’s marketing & communications department and filmed and edited by Jeff Reidel of Flagship Media, they are narrated by the individual presenters.
