This is great news for ECDI. I am a huge fan of Bob Kramer and all the great work that ECDI does. Bob has always been a great friend to the restaurant industry in his role with Columbus Public Health. Best wishes to Bob and ECDI, what a great team!
Thanks, Liz! We’re super excited to have him on board as well. By the way, I read about Eartha Ltd in Business First a few weeks ago and can’t wait to see that develop.
Quite the man for the position! Bob’s knowledge, passion and personality will serve ECDI and the community well. Best wishes, Bob!
