With great anticipation, I dive into the blogosphere with this initial entry.  My name is Sudhir Raghupathy and I am a recent graduate of the Weatherhead MBA program at Case, with specialties on Entrepreneurship and Organizational Behavior. As a concerned citizen committed to lifelong learning I currently pursue certification in Appreciative Inquiry (Case), Servant Leadership (Gonzaga), and Organization Systems Development (Gestalt Institute of Cleveland).  My goal is to work with nonprofit organizations to help them deliver winning outcomes for the community more efficiently and effectively. Someday I hope to help make great things happen as a passionate and dedicated agent for social change. I have been proud to be working most recently as part of the RealNEO team to help develop this visionary entrepreneurial not-for-profit organization.  What a fantastic opportunity - to help advocate and promote regional causes toward  positive social impact and sustainable economic development.  There has also been a great opportunity to network and connect with other civic entrepreneurs and positive change leaders at our RealNEO neoexcellence rountables held weekly at the City Club of Cleveland.  Recent speakers have included Futurist and Gen-X consultant Rebecca Ryan, sustainability director Andrew Waterson, UCI director Chris Ronayne and Cuyahoga County Planning Commisioner Paul Alsenas.  Each has shared their vision for the transformation of our region to a thriving, vibrant region that celebrates arts and culture, maintains concern for the environment, fosters innovation in education, utilizes cutting edge technology and promotes the health of all its people.  In this holistic way we advance as a region down the path of sustainable economic development.  As I continue working as part an amazing team at RealNEO, I look forward with great anticipation to serving as participant in and witness to the tranformation of northeast Ohio.
