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.
