2022 Institute graduates pictured with Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals Judge Myron Duhart
The Toledo Regional Chamber of Commerce congratulates the 32 individuals who recently completed their public service leadership training as part of the 2022 Institute for Leadership & Advocacy, the longest-running program of its kind in the state. Graduates were recognized for their accomplishment at a ceremony on March 21 at Glass City Metropark featuring an address by The Honorable Myron Duhart, Presiding Judge for the Ohio Sixth District Court of Appeals. The graduates are among the more than 460 leaders to date that have completed this course.
“I found the Institute program extremely informative,” stated 2022 graduate Steve Hohenberger, Advertising Account Executive at Buckeye Broadband. “Presenters represented multiple disciplines and offered their expertise, experience and knowledge from different vantage points in a beneficial interaction with the participants. The Chamber does an outstanding job in planning the sessions and making them timely and relevant.”
“The Institute provided me a foundation to better understand how to successfully navigate and interact with public officials, government funding, and more. Plus, I established meaningful relationships with Institute presenters and fellow participants who are now simply a phone call or email away as resources," said graduate Kate Fineske, Senior Director of Institutional Advancement for the National Museum of the Great Lakes.
The Institute is designed to help build and strengthen the foundation of our region’s leaders to serve their communities and work with public officials. Participants engage in discussions about the issues, requirements and expectations associated with public service. Sessions are taught by highly experienced professionals comprised of public officials and other regional leaders. The Institute also includes year-long engagement in activities and events.
The Institute for Leadership & Advocacy is made possible by the Chamber, its Leadership Fund PAC, the Ohio State University Extension and Ohio Sea Grant College Program, and 2022 program gold sponsor, The Toledo Refining Company, and silver sponsor, Shumaker Advisors. We congratulate each of the following 2022 Institute graduates:
