Cincinnatus President Bill Scheyer has a new “day job” that puts him at the forefront of efforts to encourage regional progress and growth.

 

Scheyer is the new president of Northern Kentucky’s Vision 2015. He succeeds Mike Hammons, who, coincidentally, is a past president of Cincinnatus.

 

“I'm very pleased to be joining the staff at Vision 2015, and I look forward to working with them to achieve the community’s ambitious vision," said Bill Scheyer.

 

"This is a great organization steeped with accomplishment and a history of community engagement and support. The Vision 2015 team, including Regional Stewardship Council members, committed funders, partner organizations and staff, has done a tremendous job over the past years prioritizing the needs of the community and rallying support around impactful initiatives.”

Scheyer will be responsible for the strategic direction and operations of the organization that manages the implementation of Northern Kentucky’s 10-year strategic plan, launched in 2005. The plan focuses on economic prosperity, high quality of life and talent development for residents of nine counties in Northern Kentucky. “Being charged with driving the goals, priorities and strategies within the Vision 2015 plan is an exciting challenge,” said Scheyer. 

Scheyer was most recently president of Southbank Partners, Inc., an organization committed to economic impact along the river cities in Northern Kentucky. Before coming to Southbank, Scheyer served for more than 18 years as city administrator for the City of Erlanger. 

He has served as president of both the Northern Kentucky and statewide City/County Management Associations. Earlier in his career, Scheyer spent 20 years in the health care field. He is a graduate of Northern Kentucky University and an alumnus of both Leadership Northern Kentucky and the Greater Cincinnati Regional Leadership Forum.
