September 25, 2019: Chapter Meeting at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
Keynote Presentation
Keynote Speaker: Tim Offtermatt, VP of Finance, Rock and Roll Hall of Fame
Tim Offtermatt, the Vice President of Finance of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, will discuss his background in investment banking and involvement with a number of local high profile projects, including First Energy Stadium, Progressive Field, Quicken Loans Arena, Huntington Convention Center of Cleveland and the Hilton Cleveland Downtown and how and why he chose to join the Rock Hall leadership team. Tim will provide an overview of the financials of the Rock Hall currently (their sources of funding and how it is spent) and how this will change with the $30 to $35 million expansion approved by Cleveland City Council in April.
Mr. Offtermatt will provide some details of the initial plans for this expansion, which involves the Rock Hall using the acreage that sits between its building and the Great Lakes Science Center – two of the finest selling points Cleveland has – to increase its exhibition and display and entertainment space by 50,000 square feet. The expansion will also add more room for the organization’s education programs and provide more than a physical connection to the Science Center (programming involving the science behind the music). The Rock Hall’s budget for education programs for 2019 is 55 percent greater than it was in 2018. He’ll discuss what they had to do to secure land, the fundraising campaign and the timeline and estimated costs for this project, as well as its expected economic benefit to Northeast Ohio. Cleveland’s Planning Director Freddy Collier has praised the Rock Hall for enabling an expansion that would preserve public space around the harbor.
