Clermont county Commissioners name Proud board president

Bob Proud will serve as president of the Board of Clermont County Commissioners for 2010. Ed Humphrey will serve as vice president and Scott Croswell will serve as a member of the Board. They were elected during the annual BCC reorganizational meeting on Monday, Jan. 11.

“I welcome the opportunity to continue serving the citizens of this great county,” said Proud, who is in his sixth term as a county commissioner.  “I also look forward to working with Ed, Scott, and other county, municipal, village, township, and school officials on many projects that will benefit the county.  I’d like to thank Ed for his service as president of the BCC last year.”

Proud is a lifelong resident of Clermont County.  His complete biography of local, regional, state, and national service is available online at www.bcc.ClermontCountyOhio.gov/biographies.aspx.

The BCC will meet at 1 p.m. on most Mondays and Wednesdays in 2010. On the third Monday of each month, the session will begin at 3 p.m.

All meetings will be held in the third floor session room at the Clermont County Administration Building, located at 101 E. Main Street in Batavia. For a detailed agenda, visit the Clermont County Web site at www.ClermontCountyOhio.gov or call the BCC offices at (513) 732-7300.

Also in 2010, the BCC will hold a series of town meetings in various communities around the county.

"We encourage citizens to attend these evening meetings and learn about the many programs and initiatives planned for their community and the county," said Proud. "It's a great opportunity to let us know what suggestions you have to make the county an even better place to live, work, and raise our families." A schedule of town meetings will be released soon.
