"The 2021-2022 Executive Committee includes an impressive combination of elected leaders representing counties, cities, townships, other government and non-government agencies from across the Miami Valley. MVRPC is fortunate that Mr. Chris Mucher, the long serving and well-respected Miami Township Trustee from Greene County, will continue to serve as our Chairperson for another term," said Brian O. Martin, MVRPC Executive Director. "Chris provided excellent leadership despite a challenging transition due to the sudden passing of our previous Chairperson Mr. John J. Beals in 2019, followed by the unprecedented challenges faced as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic in 2020. I look forward to continuing to work with Mr. Mucher on MVRPC’s efforts to serve the Miami Valley Region."
