                 CLERMONT COUNTY COMMISSIONER BOB PROUD

                                 ______

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, March 2, 2016

  Mr. WENSTRUP. Mr. Speaker, I wish to congratulate Clermont County 
Commissioner Bob Proud on a distinguished career serving the residents 
of Clermont County and southern Ohio.
  A seven-term Clermont County Commissioner, Bob has effectively guided 
Clermont County into the 21st Century. Involved in everything from the 
construction of a new Clermont County Animal Shelter in 2002, to the 
reclamation of the former Ford transmission plant on State Route 32, to 
his service for senior citizens as a Meals on Wheels volunteer, to his 
work on the Coalition for a Drug-Free Clermont County, Bob has served 
Clermont with integrity and class.
  Bob is also a champion for our troops, both at home and abroad. He 
has been nationally recognized for his work on behalf of our military 
and has even founded a local military family support group.
  For the last twenty-five years, Bob has served as Chairman of the 
Ohio Valley Regional Development Commission (OVRDC), a public regional 
planning commission that serves twelve southern Ohio counties, the 
majority of which are in Ohio's Second Congressional District. As he 
prepares to retire from this position, I commend him for his hard work 
and leadership to make Southern Ohio a better place to live and work.
  Thank you Bob, and God bless you.

                          ____________________
