Campus Partners Board of Directors
From its inception in 1995, Campus Partners was governed by a Board of Trustees. In October 2006, the existing governance structure for Campus Partners was dissolved and a new Board of Directors was appointed. The change reflected a desire that the Campus Partners Board of Directors be an engaged governing body for the organization with direct oversight of Campus Partners and its various activities.

The Campus Partners Board of Directors has six “university directors” designated by the president of The Ohio State University and five “public directors” chosen by the members of the Campus Partners Board. The “university directors” must be officers or employees of Ohio State. The “public directors” are required not to be officers or employees of Ohio State.

The “university directors” are:
  • Cheryl L. Achterberg, Dean of the College of Education and Human Ecology;
  • Joyce Beatty, Senior Vice President for Outreach and Engagement;
  • Jeff M. Kaplan, Senior Vice President;
  • Eric Kunz, Associate Vice President for Health Sciences;
  • Bobby D. Moser, Vice President for Agricultural Administration;
  • Thomas W. Johnson, Assistant Vice President for Financial Services.

The “public directors” are:
  • Jonathan Beard, President and CEO of the Columbus Compact Corporation;
  • Alex Fischer, consultant, Columbus Partnership;
  • Kathleen Fox, resident of the University District;
  • Bradley Pyle, undergraduate student at Ohio State;
  • Boyce Safford III, Director of the Columbus Department of Development.

The Board of Directors has elected the following officers of Campus Partners:
  • Chair: Jeff M. Kaplan
  • Vice Chair: Eric Kunz
  • President: Douglas L. Aschenbach
  • Treasurer: Connie Gaiser
  • Secretary: Michael A. Mitchell
  • Assistant Secretary: Debra Peterseim

The Board of Directors has three standing committees: Fiscal and Audit Committee, Investment and Asset Management Committee, and Planning and Community Development Committee.
