CCAO welcomes Adam Schwiebert as Managing Director of Policy

The County Commissioners Association of Ohio (CCAO) announces the hiring of Adam Schwiebert as its new Managing Director of Policy. Schwiebert succeeds Kyle Petty, who is launching his own government relations consulting firm and will continue to support the association’s advocacy efforts as a contract lobbyist.

Schwiebert brings a strong background in legislative affairs, policy analysis, and county government advocacy. He previously served as CCAO External Relations Manager covering the agriculture and rural affairs portfolios. Most recently, Schwiebert served as Legislative Director at the Ohio Department of Taxation.

“We are thrilled to have Adam return to CCAO to lead the association’s policy and advocacy efforts,” CCAO Executive Director Cheryl Subler said. “Adam brings a wealth of policy experience and county government expertise that will greatly benefit our membership.”

CCAO also thanks Petty for his contributions during his tenure as Managing Director of Policy. “Kyle’s strong leadership and tireless advocacy efforts have been invaluable to strengthening Ohio counties,” said Subler. “We look forward to continuing to work with Kyle in his new role to advocate on behalf of CCAO members.”
