FOR IMMEDIATE
RELEASE
ZIEGLER RECOGNIZED FOR
LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT
Ted Ziegler was the recipient of the 2006 Seiberling Lifetime Achievement Award at The University of Akron Public Administration and Urban Studies eighth annual Urban Light Banquet and Silent Auction on April 21.
Ted has been the CEO of the Community Health Center for over 25 years, growing the corporation from a small alcohol and drug treatment center into a full-service agency focusing on health care from all aspects.
"During his tenure as CEO, Ted has been instrumental in designing, building and maintaining safe and sober communities for individuals of all walks of life, including single parents, young adults and low-income individuals in Akron and beyond," said Dr. Raymond Cox, department chair,
Public Administration & Urban Studies.
According to Ziegler, a major highlight of his career was the completion of the Nela Manor project in Highland Square.
"We owe Congressman Seiberling credit for projects like Nela Manor in the community," he said. The award's namesake, Congressman John Seiberling, worked tirelessly to preserve national landmarks in Ohio and nationwide. He was an original designer of the historic tax credit project.
The Seiberling Award is given to individuals who exemplify the area of public service through distinguished leadership and citizenship activities.
