Tiffin, Ohio — Tiffin Mayor Aaron Montz announced Thursday that Nick Dutro has been named the city’s first Director of Communications and Constituent Services. Dutro previously was the Economic Development Manager at Tiffin-Seneca Economic Partnership.

Dutro said, “I’m incredibly excited for this opportunity to join the City of Tiffin as the Director of Communications and Constituent Services. I hope to continue to make a difference in the community as I had through TSEP, but also to perform a valuable service in keeping the public informed, as I did at the newspaper. I’m grateful to the City Administration for putting their trust in me.”

Mayor Montz said: “I am elated to have the opportunity to bring someone with Nick’s immense talents to the team at City Hall. While there were several well-qualified candidates for the position, Nick stood out above the rest as having the best skill-set and abilities to lead the city’s newly established communications and constituent services division.”

City Administrator Dale Thornton stated: “Nick comes to the city with superb credentials, a wealth of experience and a knowledge of the community that make him a great fit for this newly created position. I look forward to working with him in his new role.”
