Executive Spouse Interviews

Ohio offers work:life balance beyond your dreams. This section includes interviews with executive spouses, who explain how "Why Ohio?" is a family decision. Often described as "trailing spouses," those married to executives making the move to Ohio often bring their own business as well as family responsibilities in the midst of the move. These spouses know that they more than influence the final choice in relocation because they are the glue that holds the family together. As the state of perfect balance, Ohio plays a strong supporting role for trailing spouses.

Ed Burghard, Executive Director of the Ohio Business Development Coalition, facilitated the discussions with these executive spouses.
