"You aren't going to find anybody who'll tell you anything other than: Jim Votruba is a great leader," said Campbell County Judge-executive Steve Pendery. As co-chair of the Vision 2015 initiative, Votruba is now helping shape Northern Kentucky's future, laying groundwork for the next decade and beyond. To him, Vision 2015's most important goal is to cultivate a new generation of leaders to continue what he and others have begun.

Colleagues,
When one thinks of Philadelphia, many things come to mind depending on interests and perspectives. The City of Brotherly Love is renowned for its sports franchises and its rather passionate fans; film buffs think of the many movies for which the city served as a backdrop, from “The Philadelphia Story” to Tom Hanks’ poignant portrayal in “Philadelphia” and the “Rocky” films. History buffs recall the Liberty Bell, Ben Franklin, William Penn and the city’s role in the birth of the nation. Food aficionados will think of cheesesteaks and hoagies; and of course, there’s W.C Fields’ epitaph that he’d “rather be in Philadelphia.” 
Each month in 2005, ARS will be introducing its Board members and Associates. This month, we introduce Joan Riehm, Deputy Mayor of Louisville Metro (Louisville, Kentucky), and David Soule, Associate Director of Northeastern University's Center for Urban & Regional Policy.
HIGHLAND HEIGHTS, KENTUCKY - Since arriving at Northern Kentucky University eight years ago, President Jim Votruba has redefined the university's role in the community. In the process, he has reshaped both NKU and the region, earning widespread respect.
For Greater Birmingham and the surrounding Region, all the elements of success are present and momentum is advancing, awaiting the seasoned professional prepared to leverage the area’s considerable human, material and capital resources into a cohesive force to advance the Region.
