Russ previously served on the board as VP while being heavily active in volunteer efforts during his two years on the board. “I am very excited to take on the role of President!”, Russ expresses, “I’ve seen how much the downtown area has transformed over the last few years, and have enjoyed being on the Board since 2021.  I look forward to the upcoming year and doing my part to help downtown Cuyahoga Falls continue to flourish!”

Heather has served on the board as Secretary and co-chair of the Events & Fundraising committee this past year. Andrew joined the board late last year and has been integral to idea sharing and community collaborations.
