“These nominees will bring regional and national perspectives in manufacturing, construction. workforce, and economic development to the forefront of our conversations. As we work to make Johnson County an even more viable place for business success, I am grateful they are offering their talent to help us achieve our vision in 2025 and beyond.”

The nominating committee also nominated the following directors to a second three-year term beginning January 1: Dave Coffey, president of Mutual Savings Bank; Dr. David Dunkle, president and CEO of Johnson Memorial Health; and Chris Hamm, vice president at HWC Engineering.
