PEGGY DARRAGH-JEROMOS
Peggy Darragh-Jeromos is a familiar name in Franklin and its surrounding communities. That’s because she's dedicated much of her life to being a community change-maker. She said, “My mom’s motto was ‘Brighten the Corner Where You Are,’” and I operate by that as well. If I have time to complain about something, I have time to help find a solution.”
Born in Silver City, NM, she has spent much of her life living and working in Franklin. She currently lives on a Franklin Township farm that’s been stewarded by and passed down through her family for at least five generations.
Peggy, a fourth-generation Wildcat, graduated from Franklin High School in 1975, and received a double major Bachelor's in Economics and Chemistry from Earlham College in Richmond, IN. She earned a Master's Degree in Public Management from the School of Urban and Public Affairs (now the Heinz School) at Carnegie-Mellon University in Pittsburgh. She spent thirteen years working at Sprint Corporation in Mansfield, OH. During that time, she served on the Mansfield Symphony Orchestra Board and the Mansfield YWCA Board.
When Peggy returned to Franklin in 1998, she was happy to get involved in the community where she grew up. She was part of Franklin City Schools’ Strategic Planning Team in the late 1990s, and was one of the original members of the district’s Student Achievement Committee. She worked for the district in PR/Communications from 2001 to 2004, and returned to the district as Communications Consultant in 2009. She is proud to promote the achievements of Franklin City Schools and its students and staff. Thanks to her support of the Franklin High School Drama Club, she was named an honorary member of the high school’s Thespian Troupe in 2018.
In 2009, she also assumed the role of Executive Director of Chamber45005 (formerly the Franklin Area Chamber of Commerce), a role she held until she retired in April 2023. Under her leadership, the chamber’s membership grew, the benefits offered to members expanded, and the chamber repositioned itself to serve the entire 45005 zip code, which led to its rebranding as Chamber45005. The Chamber recently celebrated its 75th anniversary.
In 2014, she helped establish the Downtown Franklin Farmers Market, which is co-sponsored by the Chamber and the City of Franklin, and served as the market manager from mid 2017 through 2022. The market is a popular Saturday destination and is celebrating its 10th season this summer.
Outside her professional career, Peggy has sought to make the Franklin area a better place for everyone to live. She’s served on both the Franklin Area Community Services Board and the Middletown Community Foundation Marketing Committee. She has served on the board of the Franklin Area Historical Society since 2009, and recently finished five years as board president. She’s also a member of Forever Franklin, Inc.’s Board of Directors, the group dedicated to Franklin’s downtown revitalization, and is a Trustee of the Deardoff Senior Center.
She is a 54-year member of Franklin First United Methodist Church, where she’s served on many committees; she’s active in the church’s music program, singing in the choir and women’s ensemble and playing handbells. She’s performed with various groups and ensembles at the Otterbein Senior Living Community since the early 2000s.
In recognition of her commitment to the Franklin community, Peggy has been honored to receive the Good Neighbor Award from the City of Franklin; the 2014 chamber of commerce Perry Maxwell Award for community goodwill (for work on the Farmers Market Committee); the 2018 chamber of commerce president’s award for service to the community (along with her husband Joe); and a Key to the City of Franklin for service to the community in 2023.
Peggy lives in Franklin Township with her husband of 32 years, Joe Jeromos. Their daughter Taylor Jeromos and their daughter-in-law Lauren Haskins reside in Buffalo, NY.

Community Service Award
BRODI CONOVER
Brodi Conover is a 5th-generation Warren Countian. Born and raised in Lebanon, Brodi is currently a partner at Bricker Graydon and works out of the Firm’s office in the LCNB National Bank building in Lebanon. Both in his legal career and throughout his life, Brodi has been committed to service—his family, his community, his church, his clients.
His mother Amy set an early example. She volunteered for everything—from the PTO to after-prom to school levy campaigns. Brodi tagged along to it all, not always by choice. But with the spirit of giving time and talent instilled in him, Brodi has always taken seriously dedicating himself to his community. He is astute at identifying where he might be able to lend a hand, and then eager to jump in relentlessly.
Brodi currently is chairman of the Board of Directors for the United Way of Warren County. The organization has gone through significant transition over the last year-and-a-half; and Brodi, along with his fellow Board members, stepped up to lead the organization for over a year without any executive director. Brodi led the search for a new leader; and last fall, the United Way of Warren County selected a dynamic new executive director to lead the organization positively into the future.
As a leader in his church, Brodi managed a church affiliation transition that has led to growth in membership and financial stability.
His public service doesn’t stop in Warren County. Brodi was appointed in 2013 by Governor John Kasich and has since been reappointed by Governor Mike DeWine to the Ohio Humanities Council—a statewide grant-making and programming organization to connect Ohioans to their history. In 2021, Brodi was appointed by Justice R. Patrick DeWine to the Commission on the Thomas J. Moyer Ohio Judicial Center, which is responsible for preserving the architectural and historic integrity of the Supreme Court of Ohio.
A proud product of Lebanon City Schools, Brodi received his undergraduate degree from Georgetown University in Washington, DC and his law degree from The Ohio State University. Brodi married his high school sweetheart Andrea. She teaches 6th grade at Berry Intermediate School. They live in Lebanon with their five-year-old son Everett, their two-year-old son Case, and their six-week-old daughter Blair.
Congratulations to Brodi Conover for receiving the Emerging Leader Community Service Award.

LEADERSHIP WARREN COUNTY
Creating a dynamic network of leaders whose increased awareness and commitment to serve will encourage its citizens to shape Warren County‘s future.
In 1999 a committee was formed to investigate bringing a leadership program to Warren County. In October 2000 the committee asked Area Progress Council to sponsor the proposed program and the board said yes. One month later Bill Thornton was asked to lead the new program.
We assumed the leadership of the exploratory committee and the remaining funds from an original grant from Cinergy were transferred to APC. There was also a sample budget with a line item for extra help. Arla Tannehill became the assistant. Many meetings were held with the committee through July 2001.
Leadership is about connections, contacts and networks. Bill had a friend who was instrumental in establishing the leadership program in Nashville, Tennessee. He attended their class day in April 2001 and then spent a day in their office reviewing procedures and purpose.
Later that April, Arla and Bill attended the Community Leadership Association Conference in Greensboro North Carolina to further investigate how other community leaderships programs operated. While at the Greensboro meeting, we met the Executive Director of the Clinton County Leadership Institute and consequently on return home, spent a day in their office once again reviewing practices and program content and attended their class days in May and June.
From these connections, we determined that we were on the right track for our Warren County Leadership program. It was time to publicize and recruit for the 10-month program that was developed. After the initial opening retreat; class days are topic/issued focused. Class members are encouraged to make their own connections by developing class day curriculum and lining up presenters and speakers. Additionally, members are asked to do a ride-a-long with a police officer and meals on wheels; read a book on leadership and give a report, and attend a city council or township meeting.
The opening retreat for the first class was help in September 2001 for the first 26 participants. One of them said that was one of the three most important things of her life. And similar experiences have been occurring ever since. The best way to know what Leadership Warren County means to our county and our residents is to ask one of the 318 individuals who have completed the program since 2002. A few alumni to note are Commissioner Shannon Jones, Commissioner Tom Grossmann, Ohio Representative Scott Lipps, Ohio Representative Adam Mathews, Lebanon Police Chief Jeff Mitchell, Hamilton Township Police Chief Scott Hughes, Warren County Sheriff Larry Sims, Warren County Deputy Sheriff Barry Riley, Warren County Treasurer Barney Wright and many others.
A graduate of Leadership Warren County noted, “I am fortunate to have been part of Leadership Warren County. I feel gifted from the program by growing as a person and becoming a more confident individual. The leadership class has heightened my knowledge and pride in our wonderful Warren County.”

WARREN COUNTY IMAGINATION LIBRARY
Every Child Reads Every Day!
The Mission of the Warren County Imagination Library is to promote early childhood reading for all Warren County Children and their families. Since the beginning in 2020, 14,000 Warren County children and their families have received a quality Dolly Parton Imagination Library book in their mailbox each month. More than 63 percent of eligible children are receiving books. Books are provided by local funding from the five library districts and matching funding from the Dolly Parton Imagination Library of Ohio each month to two thirds of Warren County children between birth and five years of age.
Children who begin reading at an early age learn to love books. Their cognitive development is accelerated creating a larger, richer vocabulary, an increased attention span, increased curiosity, greater awareness and appreciation for others. The majority of Warren County children now enter Kindergarten “Ready to Learn”.
We are working hard and we are working together to improve the quality of life in Warren County. Three dozen organizations and over 125 volunteers make-up “The Greatest Civic Engagement in Warren County.” They include five public libraries who are major funders and promoters, including Franklin-Springboro Public Library, Lebanon Public Library, Mary L. Cook Public Library, Mason Public Library, and Salem Township Public Library; many generous donors; eight public school systems who promote early childhood reading for the families; five local governments who provide funding, expertise, and promote early childhood reading in their communities; six large employers who encourage reading for their employees’ families; and eight “Not-for-Profit” agencies who serve all Warren County residents.
The Warren County Foundation is the fiscal agent for the county program and a nine-member governance team manages the effort. Since the beginning of the program, more than 255,000 books have been mailed to Warren County children.
The Dolly Parton Imagination Library of Ohio has affiliates in all 88 counties of Ohio. More than 53 percent of the eligible children in Ohio or more than 381,000 are participating. Governor and Mrs. DeWine are determined that every child in Ohio has the gift of early childhood literacy.
