We’re continuing our “Learning through Leadership” journey today as our own Denise Ward talks to Superintendent Melvin Brown about his own leadership journey. Melvin is currently the Superintendent of Reynoldsburg City Schools, which is just outside of Columbus. Our colleagues in Region 8 may remember Melvin from his time as Deputy Superintendent of Cuyahoga Falls City Schools. In today’s episode, Ieading with passion is a recurring theme: listeners will clearly hear how passionate Melvin is about doing what is best for children, how he builds a network of connections with leaders who inspire him, and how emerging leaders should seek new opportunities that align with their own professional passions. 




Co-host: Denise Ward, Educational Consultant
