Last night, the Charter Committee formally announced the election of Colin Groth as the next President of the oldest, active, independent party in the country. Mike Goldman, past president [2003-2009], led the organization during the presidential search process until a new President worthy of this storied and vital organization was found. Charter would like to thank Mike Goldman who stepped down yesterday as Convener for his leadership and dedication that has been crucial to vitality of the party.
During his acceptance speech, Mr. Groth stated, “At this critical juncture in our community’s history we must hold our Charter principles more than ever: Independence, Accountability, Transparency, Fiscal Responsibility, and Regional Cooperation. As President of Charter I’d like us to consider adding an additional principle to the mix: Innovation.”
He went on to say, “At times in the past, Charter has relied too much on its Councilmembers to carry out these principles. But, we collectively, all of us in this room are Charter. We must work together as an organization, as a group to ensure these important principles are upheld.”
Colin Groth currently serves as the Director of Strategic Assistance at StriveTogether, a subsidiary of Knowledge Works. The national education consortium based in Cincinnati works with communities around the country to improve student outcomes. Mr. Groth also serves on the Board of Findlay Market and worked at SORTA for over 6 years.
