The Summit County Developmental Disabilities Board will have its first female superintendent in 2022.
Lisa Kamlowsky, who’s currently the assistant superintendent and has worked at the DD board for more than 25 years, will become superintendent Jan. 1. Current superintendent John Trunk is retiring Dec. 31 after eight years in the role.
“It just feels like the right time,” said Kamlowsky, 54. “We have a very talented board and incredibly talented leadership team and staff, and we're in a place as an organization where we're very stable in terms of our focus and our mission and how we're carrying out that mission. And it just felt like a natural transition to just step up to this next level.”
“It's in a great spot,” said Trunk, 63, of why he felt now was the time to retire. “We're supported by the community. We have a good financial plan and a financial base. Programmatically, we're moving in the right direction. It just seemed like that I would rather pass things on and move on when things are going well, or at least they certainly feel that way. And Lisa will do an absolutely marvelous job. I'm so excited for her having that opportunity.”
Kamlowsky, who grew up in Stow and now lives in Bath Township, graduated from the University of Akron School of Law in 1993, with plans to be a lawyer.
