Our well traveled team was already making waves across the southern region before joining Ohio River South. In fact, many of our leaders hail from the communities that we serve today.
We have lived and worked in southern capitals while leading national associations. We staffed elected officials and studied at local schools. We worked on campaigns and tracked policy for regional outfits.
We’re already working in a community near you and delivering on the promise of the next southern century. Here is a small sample of our experiences and connections before joining a regional powerhouse.

We’re looking for awesome people.
The American South is home to a complex array of policy and political issues. Steeped in history and teeming with potential, the region has long struggled to attract or build organizations with the capacity to drive sustainable progress.
UNTIL NOW.
Southern, savvy, and strategic – we are recruiting the region’s best professionals from every level of politics and business, paired with tactics and technologies to power electoral and policy success. And we’re growing!
