“I’m honored to have been chosen to help guide CCAO’s leadership as we work to build stronger counties for a stronger Ohio,” Lieberman said. “Counties are the state’s partner in delivering critical services such as justice and public safety, infrastructure, child and senior citizen protective services, election administration and more. Now more than ever, that partnership is crucial to improving the quality of life for the people we serve.”

This is Lieberman’s second term as CCAO president. She also served as president in 2012 and was first vice president in 2021. She has been a board member since 2007.

Lieberman has been a Montgomery County commissioner since 2005.

She is a graduate of the University of Dayton School of Law. Her husband, Dennis, is a litigator and defense attorney. She has two sons, David and D.J.
