Eli Faes to Lead Advocacy Team

This week, the LeadingAge Ohio team welcomed Eli Faes as Director of Public Policy. Faes has enjoyed a twenty-year career on Capitol Square, where he worked in the state legislature, for the Attorney General and the Department of Higher Education before his most recent role leading state government affairs with the University of Toledo.

“As we head into a challenging budget season, it was imperative we identified a great leader for our advocacy efforts,” remarked Leadingage Ohio President / CEO Susan Wallace. “Eli is the right person– his deep experience, strong relationships and high level of integrity will advance the missions of our members.”

In this role, Faes will lead the organization’s advocacy program, with the first focus on next year’s biennial budget process. “I am truly honored and excited to join the team at LeadingAge Ohio. I look forward to assisting in the association’s mission of advancing solutions for exceptional care and successful living for older Ohioans.”
