The Ohio Chapter of the 60 Summits Project held its first major event -- Preventing Needless Work Disability Among Ohioans: A Stay-at-Work & Return-to-Work Leadership Summit -- on March 14, 2008 in Columbus. The largest 60 Summits event to date, more than 135 people participated, and 28 organizations were sponsors. Experimenting with a new agenda design, this event included same-stakeholder small group work sessions as well as the mixed stakeholder groups that have characterized previous events. Attendee evaluations overwhelmingly rated the event a success.

42% of all attendees at the March 14 Summit signed up to be part of the Ohio 60 Summits action group. Their first organizational meeting was held May 1, 2008.
