Jeff Davis, director of the Ohio Department of Developmental Disabilities, has announced that he will retire, effective Dec. 31. Gov. Mike DeWine has appointed Kim Hauck, a deputy director at DODD, to replace Davis.

We extend our thanks and best wishes on a well deserved retirement to Director Davis for his many years of leadership. And, our good wishes are extended to Kim Hauck, who has provided excellent leadership at the state and in the field for many years. Both leaders have positively impacted the lives of many Ohioans who have developmental disabilities and their staff.
