Her passion and dedication to public service in our state, and the unique breadth and depth of her experience, make her perfect to take on this vitally important role.”Įqual access to quality, independent, local news and information is part of the foundation of a strong democracy, and strong communities in which all Ohio residents can thrive in their daily lives,” McNeil Danish said. “Rita has engaged elected officials, state legislators, community stakeholders, and business leaders to find a foundation of unity on which to build systems that have strengthened Ohio communities. “Signal Ohio is dedicated to rebuilding critical, public service local journalism resources across the state, so in filling this role we were looking for an exceptional leader who could not only grow and sustain a thriving new organization, but mobilize communities around Ohio,” said Tom Katzenmeyer, Chair of the Board of Signal Ohio and CEO of the Greater Columbus Arts Council. And, as part of accepting role as CEO of an independent journalism organization, McNeil Danish will be resigning from the Ohio Civil Rights Commission, which is comprised of commissioners appointed by the governor enforces the state’s laws against discrimination. She will be building and leading a statewide team that provides strong, sustainable business and operating support to newsrooms across the network, and ensure that Signal’s community-centered values and mission to make quality, unbiased information accessible to all residents of the state, are realized. As CEO, she will lead a nonprofit, statewide network of local newsrooms, rallying local support for community-centered journalism to launch initiatives such as the one in Northeast Ohio that culminated in the launch of Signal Cleveland, a 17-person newsroom, this fall. McNeil Danish was selected following an open search by a committee that included some of Signal Ohio’s board members, and local and national experts in journalism, nonprofit, and business. Across her many roles, McNeil Danish has been dedicated to building bridges across party, racial, and gender lines, fostering open cultures, dismantling prejudices, and empowering individuals.

I love that because of the giving and sharing nature of the acupuncture community, I can learn new ways and insights on how to tackle different disorders. I love that each potential problem may be resolved in a myriad of ways because the body is so interconnected embryonically, neurologically and vascularly.
I love that it is a safe modality that empowers each of us to become aware of the healing potential that is within our mind and body and spirit.
After several months of career counseling and trying to find out what color is my parachute, curiosity led me to an open house at the American Institute of Alternative Medicine (AIAM) and the rest ……is history. How did I end up from a Math degree from McGill University (Montreal, Canada) to a Professional Master’s Level degree in Acupuncture? My children had all flown the coop and were testing their wings (currently in Israel, New York City and San Jose), and I was at a crossroads.
