ABC Launches Radio Ad Campaign Demanding OSFC Directors Termination
All three Ohio chapters of ABC along with ABC of Ohio have been actively demanding that the Governor fire OSFC head Richard Murray, following the Inspector Generals report exposing corruption at the agency. ABC of Ohio Director of Government Affairs Bryan Williams issued this op ed article over the Labor Day weekend addressing the issue. Now, ABCs Northern Ohio Chapter has taken a leap of faith to publicize this corruption statewide through a hard-hitting radio ad campaign. The ad campaign is being coordinated through a new 527 political organization created for this purpose named Let Ohio Know. The new organization issued this news release to accompany the launch of the radio ad campaign.

Remember, ABC has been and continues to be the ONLY organization out front on these issues.

John Kasich Publicly Thanks ABC For Its Endorsement
John Kasich posted a Thank You video to ABC for our endorsement of his campaign to run for governor.

ABC Office/Meeting Space for Lease
Why rent expensive office and meeting space at exorbitant rates, when you can lease prime versatile offices and meeting rooms, complete with a kitchenette, break room, and WiFi access? When you arent using it for your own needs, you can rent it out so it pays for itself and becomes a revenue generator or, you may renovate the space to meet your specific needs. The existing rooms are perfect for training sessions, company meetings, workshops, networking events, board meetings, social gatherings, etc.

If you would like a tour or additional information and pricing, please contact Kathy Somers at Kathy@ovabc.org or (937) 521-1577.
