United Way Distinguished Volunteer 2009
 The United Way of Hancock County has announced that Randy Lohoff, vice president of Corporate Responsibility for Marathon Petroleum Company LLC, has been selected to receive this year’s Distinguished Volunteer Award.
Lohoff was nominated by Tony Iriti, president of the Northwest Ohio Flood Mitigation Partnership, for his commitment to the community and his extensive volunteer experience with many non-profit organizations. Lohoff currently serves as the chairman of the 11 member board of the Northwest Ohio Flood Mitigation Partnership and has been in this capacity since the partnership’s formation in 2007. He has worked extensively with the United States Army Corps of Engineers; federal, state and local officials; and the private sector. His work with the Northwest Ohio Flood Mitigation Partnership has become an integral part of expediting the process of finding a solution to the area’s flooding problem.
Lohoff serves in a leadership role with the Boy Scouts of America, Black Swamp Area Council. Since 2000, he has served as the Chairman for the Council Eagle Recognition event and in 2006, he was elected president of the Council which he has served in for the past three years. He initiated a five-year strategic plan which resulted in a realistic yet challenging roadmap to the future of scouting in Northwest Ohio. Among other accomplishments, Lohoff received the Silver Beaver award, an award given to those who implement the Scouting program and perform community service through hard work, self sacrifice, dedication, and many years of service. From 2002-2008, he served on the American Red Cross-Hancock County board. He served as a board member of the Community Development Foundation from 2004-2006. He is currently chairman of the GreaterFindlayInc. board, providing leadership through a transitional time that included hiring a new GFI president.
One recommendation letter indicated that “Randy Lohoff is certainly deserving of this honor. He is distinguished not only for his years of involvement with a variety of United Way agencies, but more importantly for his willingness to contribute at a deeper level than most people. He digs in where he knows he can make a difference.”
