Today, OSBF Grants & Database Manager Michelle Hendricks had a fantastic day of learning, collaboration, and meaningful conversations! She met with staff at Rep. Beryl Brown Piccolantonio’s office, a 2018 OSBF Fellow, in the Riffe Building before heading to Philanthropy Ohio’s "Philanthropy at the Statehouse" event to explore philanthropy’s role in Ohio’s communities. Keynote speaker Valerie Lemmie, Chair of the Ohio Civil Rights Commission, shared powerful insights, and a dynamic panel—including another 2018 OSBF Fellow Michael Corey, Executive Director of the Human Services Chamber of Franklin County—discussed key health and education policy deliberations. A truly impactful day! #OSBF #PhilanthropyOhio #Leadership #CommunityImpact (fb)
