We are so excited to have Ron as our new Executive Director.
One of Ron’s most unique attributes is that he has served at every level of government. Most recently, he served as City Administrator for the City of North College Hill. His public service experience also includes being a chief of staff for three different members of Cincinnati City Council, serving as a board member for the Southwest Ohio Regional Transit Authority, serving as a member of North College Hill City Council, Public Information Officer for the Ohio Department of Transportation and an elections official for the Hamilton County Board of Elections.
He is currently enrolled in North Kentucky University’s Master of Public Administration program. As part of that program, Ron had the privilege of being able to make a presentation in front of the Norwood Economic Development Committee in 2022.
Look for Ron around town as he reaches out to get to know more about the city. Not only does he have a ton of experience, but he also has a great personality and a contagious laugh. We are enjoying getting to know him and are sure you will too!

Representatives of both Norwood, OH, and Jasper, IN, meet up in person after facing off in the finals of this year’s Strongest Town Contest.
Dozens of aspiring towns entered the competition to be named 2022’s Strongest Town. The two finalists—Norwood, Ohio, and Jasper, Indiana—are both midwestern towns of similar population, the former an urban place surrounded by the metropolis of Cincinnati, and the latter a rural county seat in the farmlands of Indiana. Both towns are moving in a similar trajectory, revitalizing their downtown areas, creating events that bring residents together, building collaboration between city entities, and being mindful of their financial futures.
Those of us in Norwood, Ohio, gathered on the steps of our historic middle school with music, our local coffee trailer, balloons, and face painting in April to celebrate the results of the Strongest Town competition, regardless of the outcome.
Our advancement round after round had us elated to be able to come together and celebrate the resilience of our community, and it was clear that our co-finalist, Jasper, Indiana, was a worthy contender. Before the results were in, a connection had already been formed in the interest of the two towns moving forward together, learning from each other, and celebrating the good things happening in both communities.
