OVRDC Receives Ohio Auditor of State Award for 2024

The Ohio Valley Regional Development Commission (OVRDC) is proud to announce that we have received the Ohio Auditor of State Award, recognizing our exemplary commitment to transparency, financial responsibility, and strong fiscal stewardship. This honor is presented to public entities across Ohio that receive a clean audit with no material findings, citations, deficiencies, or questioned costs, demonstrating excellence in financial reporting and accountability. Earning this distinction reflects OVRDC’s dedication to responsible management of public resources on behalf of the communities we serve across our 12-county region.

This achievement is a testament to the hard work and professionalism of our Finance Director Juanita Bragg and her team, who remain committed to upholding the highest standards in public administration. As a regional development organization, OVRDC is trusted to support and invest in the future of southern Ohio, and this award reinforces that trust. We will continue advancing regional growth and opportunity while maintaining the integrity, transparency, and fiscal discipline that our partners and residents expect and deserve.

This is the 11th time in the last 12 years Juanita has been awarded the Ohio Auditor of State Award.
