Leigh Ann Gerardi, Watershed Director

Hello, my name is Leigh Ann Gerardi and I have a BA in tele-communications with a minor in natural resources from The Ohio State University.  Most of my career has been teaching the public about environmental education and local issues.  Previously, I’ve worked with the Miami County Park District and I'm excited about my new position with the Honey Creek Watershed Association (HCWA) and the Miami Soil and Water Conservation District.  I've been associated with the HCWA since 2002 because I believe that protecting our watershed and water resources is extremely important.
