Ohio Commission on Fatherhood

Rep. Tim Derickson, R-Hanover Twp., has been appointed to the bipartisan Ohio Commission on Fatherhood.

The commission was created by the General Assembly in 2000 and reestablished in 2007 by Gov. Ted Strickland.

The commission defines its mission as “Enhancing the well being of Ohio’s children by inspiring and supporting diverse groups and communities to improve the quality of fatherhood.”

“If you’re blessed with children, there’s not a higher calling than to love and influence them to become responsible adults,” Derickson said. “The need has never been greater in our state and country for fathers to teach responsibility to their children and play an active role in their lives.”

Veterans Day, originally called “Armistice Day,” marked the end of World War I on Nov. 11, 1918. This day was designated by President Woodrow Wilson as a day commemorating world peace and the veterans of World War I.
