map

Peg Moertl, director of the city of Cincinnati's Department of Community Development and Planning, has been selected as one of the 2003 Fannie Mae Foundation Fellows at Harvard University's John F. Kennedy School.

The school operates a government program for senior executives in state and local government.

Moertl, of Hyde Park, will join other foundation fellows who will attend an intensive course this month, designed to develop leadership skills, stimulate interest in new management techniques, and foster relationships among public-sector colleagues.

The fellows selected are recognized for their commitment to and accomplishments in the field of affordable housing.

Moertl has been with the city since January 2001. She is responsible for housing, neighborhood and workforce development, small business, land use management, historic conservation, human services, arts and culture, and civic infrastructure.

She has received recognition from the United Way & Community Chest, Cincinnati-Hamilton Community Action Agency and U.S. Small Business Administration.

The foundation was established in 1995 and focuses on enhancing the management decision-making skills of senior public and nonprofit officials.

The curriculum of the three-week course at the Kennedy school includes organizational strategy, management and policy development.
