County Commissioners Association of Ohio (CCAO)

The Henry County Commissioners and Engineer hosted the fall CCAO/CEAO Northwest Region meeting today. Attendees heard about innovation in agriculture from Henry County agribusiness operations. Thank you for having us! #StrongerCountiesStrongerOhio #Agribusiness

The CCAO Family is deeply saddened to learn of the passing of our former colleague Josh Hahn. Josh was a valued and treasured member of our policy staff and loved by all. He worked for CCAO from 2007 through 2013 and managed the agriculture, rural affairs, and election administration portfolios. Josh came to CCAO from US Senator Mike DeWine’s office and returned to work for DeWine when he was Ohio Attorney General. Josh has been Assistant Director of the Department of Commerce during Governor DeWine’s Administration. A native of Champaign County, he claimed that the Champaign County Fair was the largest and best Junior Fair for 4H and FFA-youth in the state. Our hearts go out to his family – we ask you to please keep his Mom Anne and Dad John and brothers Joel and Jeremy in your thoughts and prayers.
