Governor DeWine names John Logue as nominee for director of Ohio EPA

COLUMBUS – Ohio Governor Mike DeWine today announced that he is nominating John Logue to be the next director of the Ohio Environmental Protection Agency (OhioEPA). If confirmed by the Ohio Senate, Logue will replace director Anne M. Vogel who was appointed as the U.S. EPA Region 5 Administrator today. 

"John Logue is a strong leader with a proven track record of serving Ohioans and leading important agencies," said Governor DeWine. "I know John will continue the progress Ohio EPA has made during my administration protecting our air, land, and water."

Logue has served in multiple leadership capacities at Ohio Bureau of Workers Compensation (BWC), including Administrator/CEO and deputy administrator where he provided leadership to one of the largest state-run insurance systems in the United States. Logue joined BWC in 2019 as chief of strategic direction, overseeing the Division of Safety & Hygiene, and the offices of Analytics, Business Intelligence, Data Warehouse, Business Transformation, and the creation of the Workforce Safety Innovation Center.

Logue holds a bachelor’s degree in economics from John Carroll University, a master’s in business administration from Cleveland State University, and an associate in risk management designation from the Insurance Institute of America, which is today known as The Institutes.

The governor’s nomination of Logue requires confirmation by the Ohio Senate.
