Southeast Ohio school board member selected as 2014 OSBA president-elect
COLUMBUS — A Hocking County man has been selected as the Ohio School Boards Association’s 2014 president-elect. Ed Penrod, a school board member at Logan-Hocking Local Schools and Tri-County Career Center, will become OSBA president in 2015, following his term as president-elect.
Penrod, in his 17th year on the Logan-Hocking school board and 14th year on the career center board, has served on numerous OSBA committees. They include the Board of Trustees, Executive Committee, Federal Relations Network, Delegate Assembly and Southeast Region Executive Committee.
He also served as Southeast Region president in 2004 and has represented OSBA on several national committees. In recognition of his dedication to professional development and service, OSBA has presented him with multiple Awards of Achievement and the Master Board Member award.
On his local boards, Penrod has worked on policy, finance and strategic planning committees, and served multiple terms as board president and vice president. He also has served as an OSBA legislative liaison for both of his districts.
In addition, the veteran board member oversaw a major Ohio School Facilities Commission construction project at Logan-Hocking that resulted in six new school buildings and a major upgrade and addition to the middle school. Based on community input and support, the project also included a new state-of-the-art auditorium and athletic complex.
A professional clinical counselor, Penrod is committed to his community, as well. A founding member of the Hocking County Family and Children First Council, he also has served as a board member and finance chair of the Southeastern Regional Council on Alcoholism and a member of the United Way Board of Hocking County and Hocking County Farm Bureau.
