Who are we and where are we going as a county? Those are the questions a countywide effort — the Our Story Project — seeks to answer. Its focus is on discovering the best in community residents, businesses, and organizations to discover the best in Van Wert County itself. An initiative spearheaded by the Van Wert County Leadership Class of 2018, and sponsored by generous donors throughout the county, this project will define the essence of the county, and where it is going, by creating one voice.
The Our Story Project was established to create a master narrative for the county, which will allow people and organizations to tell a compelling, unified story about Van Wert County. Aligning marketing messages allows organizations to reinforce key themes, establish a strong reputation for the county, and make Van Wert County economically competitive to attract the talent and the business needed for continued growth. This project will focus on defining the human personality of the county and provide guidance on how to communicate that personality authentically.
The next couple of pages will contain questions regarding the human version of the community we call home, and your input is valuable for Leadership Van Wert County so we can ensure a accuracy in our report.
