Just after concluding his role of mayor for the City of Bellefontaine at the end of 2023, Ben Stahler is stepping into a new leadership role locally in the education field for 2024.
Officials from the Logan County Education Foundation announce that Stahler has been chosen as the organization’s new executive director.
The Education Foundation was founded in 1989 and has six trustees from each of the county school districts, which includes Bellefontaine, Benjamin Logan, Indian Lake and Riverside.
Stahler will support these 24 trustees, who annually select scholarships for graduating college bound students and grants for teachers.
The foundation has two major fundraisers per year, the Earning for Learning Fund Drive and the Run to Educate 5K Run/Walk each August.
If anyone is interested in creating a scholarship or grant, contact Stahler at [email protected].
