All proceeds from the auction and the CD release party will benefit Cincinnati's Inclusion Network. The Partnership for Greater Cincinnati is co-sponsoring the event to roll out an "upbeat-offbeat" section of its economic development Web site, www.cincinnatiusa.org. The updated site features links to area music listings, young professional organizations, resources to serve people living with disabilities, Cincinnati's gay and lesbian community, the arts and alternative interests and lifestyles -- fodder not usually found on Web sites for more traditional economic development organizations. "Obviously, this sets a new tone for how the Partnership for Greater Cincinnati will promote the region," said Nick Vehr, vice president of economic development for the Greater Cincinnati Chamber. "We're as serious about retaining and attracting young professional talent as we are about tax incentives and infrastructure. We're in competition every day to retain and attract top companies and top talent. If we have to let our hair down a bit to do that, then that's what we're going to do." In addition to plugging into Cincinnati's music scene, the Partnership is forming a young professionals network -- incorporating bright talent from diverse backgrounds -- to increase networking opportunities and support systems for emerging business leaders. Part of the YP initiative will be staging music-oriented events beginning in early 2003. Perhaps most telling: The Partnership has embraced the British-born Frampton -- who moved to Cincinnati more than a year ago -- as the region's newest ambassador. "Peter Frampton has been a wonderful asset to our community," Vehr said. "He has galvanized gal·va·nize tr.v. gal·va·nized, gal·va·niz·ing, gal·va·niz·es 1.
