What do you do in your new position at Sanger & Eby?
Strategic planners wear many hats. My main responsibility is developing, leveraging, and managing content in a strategic and creative way, both externally with client work and internally for Sanger & Eby. 
 
What do you like best about this job?
There are moments when I realize I’m getting paid to be creative. Everyone has career aspirations, but my most fundamental aspiration is just that—my creativity being utilized and leveraged. 

What's great about living/working in Cincinnati? 
Sanger & Eby has been in the West End for about 15 years, long before Over the Rhine’s renaissance. They committed to this neighborhood, and now I’m so lucky to work about three to four blocks away from Vine Street and Washington Park, some of my favorite places in this city. People my age looking for their first job out of college are looking to live and work in this part of Cincinnati, so I’m grateful. 

What part of town do you live in, and what do you most like about the neighborhood in which you live? 
I’m in the process of moving to Mt. Adams. I love that the neighborhood is situated perfectly on top of a hill. Most cities aren’t lucky enough to have that. The close proximity to other neighborhoods like OTR, downtown and Hyde Park is fantastic. I also have a great view of the river from my roof, which will be great if this winter ever ends.

What's great about living/working in Cincinnati? 
Working in the city is a relatively new experience for me (before I just went to college in it). So far I enjoy the relative closeness of the different stores. The people and culture are also more unique than in the area of my home.

What part of town do you live in, and what do you most like about the neighborhood in which you live? 
I live in Clermont County (Amelia) on the east side suburbs of Cincinnati. What I like most about it is the distance from the city: close enough for work and fun, but far enough to be quieter and less crowded.

UC Alumnus, Education Advocate Joins The University of Cincinnati Foundation

Lynnette M. Heard fills newly created board relations role

Nearly 40 years after graduating from the University of Cincinnati, Lynnette M. Heard, who has a master’s in education, joined the UC Foundation on February 19 as the organization’s first Director of Foundation Board Relations.

In this newly created position, she will assist the UC Foundation president in leading, organizing and overseeing planning, strategies and operations of the UC Foundation Board of Trustees. She graduated from UC in 1975 with a bachelor’s degree in Education.

Inspired by her own experience, Heard is excited to be a part of an organization that helps students’ dreams of a quality education come true.

“I am truly honored and humbled to have this special opportunity to give back to the University of Cincinnati, which has brought so much to my life. As an undergraduate student and scholarship recipient, I didn’t realize the impact philanthropy had on my journey,” she says. “Now, as a board professional, I’m delighted to be a partner with UC Foundation leadership to enable others to benefit from the highest levels of excellence forged by the University of Cincinnati.”

Heard, who lives in West Chester, spent the early part of her career in marketing and communications. She later moved into educational administrative leadership roles, including executive director of the Office of the President at the University of Dayton, executive director for the Southwestern Ohio Council for Higher Education (SOCHE) and executive assistant to President and Secretary to the Board at Wright State University. She has held national positions with the Association of Governing Boards and the National Association of Presidential Assistants in Higher Education.

She was most recently president and CEO of BRIDGES for a Just Community.

“I am thrilled Lynnette has joined our team. Her expertise in board relations and her vast community connections are sure to inspire our board. Her skillset is a perfect match to cultivate our board members’ talent and expertise to the fullest for the betterment of our advancement efforts at UC,” says UC Foundation President Rod Grabowski.

I develop and execute marketing and PR plans for the company, build company messaging, handle media and investor relations, and lead communications with our stakeholders and key influencers. 
 
What do you like best about this job?

Cincinnati is “right-sized.” It’s a big city with major institutions and companies, but not so big that you can’t make the personal connections with people and leaders that you need to succeed. 
 
What part of town do you live in, and what do you most like about the neighborhood in which you live? 
I live in Oakley and I love the location. I’m a short drive from all the restaurants, bars and entertainment that downtown and Over-the-Rhine offer, but can still take advantage of the walkability and locally owned small businesses in Oakley and Hyde Park.
