  4. Nominations for Senior Leadership

    Do you know of a retired or semi-retired person who enjoys lively discussions about important community issues and meeting with other interesting adults and learning new things? Here is the perfect program to challenge their energy and enthusiasm. Tell them about Clermont 20/20's Senior Leadership Program. It is interesting, informative, educational and enjoyable! Since 1996, Senior Leadership has provided this forum for retired and semi-retired individuals who live or worked in Clermont County to come together to increase their awareness of community issues and community challenges, and become further involved in making a difference in our community. The first program of its kind in Ohio and the second in the country, Senior Leadership meets on the second and fourth Thursday of the month, from 8:30 am - 12:00 noon, from September through May.

    Here is what a few of our Senior Leaders have to say about the class:

    • "It is amazing how much the 20/20 Senior Leadership Program has taught me about the county where I have lived for 27 years."
    • "This is a stimulating program for the 'retired' among us to learn about, become enthusiastic about, do something about and join in discussion about happenings and issues in our county."
    • "Great continuing education and an excellent way to 're-enter' the community after a career in the workforce."

    Nominations are now being accepted for the Senior Leadership Class of 2007. To make a nomination or apply for the program, visit our web site at www.clermont2020.org/cli/senior/.

  6. Sue McKinley - Community Planning Program Director

    As a life long resident of rural Brown County, Ohio, Sue McKinley comes to Clermont 20/20, as Director of the Community Planning Program, with an understanding and appreciation of the culture and heritage that is so deeply ingrained in the communities of Clermont County. A graduate of the University of Cincinnati, Sue started her career path working for The Bendix Corporation in purchasing, eventually becoming the Manager of Purchasing at the GA Gray Division in Cincinnati, Ohio. She then returned to her hometown of Georgetown, where she developed and renovated an old school building into shops, a restaurant and classrooms for post secondary studies as well as youth art programs. Sue also worked as an instructor and athletic director for the Georgetown Exempted Village Schools. Most recently Sue has been a Development Associate with The United Way of Greater Cincinnati. That job offered Sue the opportunity to meet and work with the citizens of Clermont County.

    Sue is a past member of The University of Cincinnati Board of Governors and a past member and chair of the Board of Directors of Brown County Regional Healthcare. She is the mother of one married daughter, Liz Dunn, who resides with her husband PFC Andrew Dunn at Ft. Campbell, Kentucky.

    Sue says she is excited about her job with Clermont 20/20 because she knows that the opportunity to better the quality of life of the citizens of Clermont County will be both challenging and rewarding.

  8. Guidelines for Ethical Decision Making

    1. Know all the facts.
      • Make sure you have all the facts and information!
    2. Is the action legal?
      • If the answer is 'No,' go no further.
    3. Does it comply with company policy?
      • If the answer is 'No,' there is probably a good reason not to take the action. If you still feel the action is right, ask for advice.
    4. Are you (or the other party) expecting something inappropriate or inconsistent with company policy, practice, etc. because of this action?
      • If you are taking this action for material gain, it is probably not ethical.
      • Make sure the action you are taking is to build a relationship with no strings attached and not for personal gain.
    5. Who will be impacted by the decision?
      • Will people be positively or negatively impacted by your decision?
    6. How will it look if the decision is made public?
      • If you would be ashamed to see a written account of this action in the newspaper, don't do it.
    7. Could the action be interpreted as improper?
      • If this action could be perceived as unethical and you may have to explain your actions, either don't do it or ask for advice.
    8. Ask.
      • If you get this far and still are concerned or unsure, ask for help.
      • If it's wrong, don't do it.
      • If the action clearly breaks company policy and society's values, don't do it.
      • If you don't know, ask.
      • If you have an ethical issue, ask your manager or other leadership for advice until you get an answer.
