Ridge Day is a longstanding community celebration in Pleasant Ridge that includes food, beer, live music and an overall family-friendly festival. The goal of the day is to fundraise for the community council, give neighbors an opportunity to visit, and to celebrate our pleasant neighborhood.
PRCC Executive Committee
The voting board members of the Council include a President, Vice-President, Secretary and Treasurer. Members are nominated by the community and voted in to leadership.
President- Bill Frost
Bill is the former president of the PRCC and well known across the neighborhood. During his time with PRCC, there was a period of significant economic growth in Pleasant Ridge after many years of hard work by the Pleasant Ridge Development Corporation. This growth required improved engagement between the Community Council, Cincinnati Council and City Management.
Vice President- Andrew Bernier
Andrew moved to PR from Oakley and before that was resident in Arizona. In each place he was engaged in the local community council with successes at both. He is an Assistant Professor in Education, specialising in STEM and Sustainability Education. He is particularly interested in development with sustainability in Pleasant Ridge.
Secretary- Drew Woodworth
Drew and his wife moved to Pleasant Ridge in 2021 from the Hyde Park area and have come to love the neighborhood. They just welcomed their first son and you’ll often see them out walking around the area with their golden retriever. Drew is looking forward to continuing the great work of the PRCC and its efforts to engage the community.
Treasurer - Jessi Frank
Jessi is by profession a Business Analyst and brings us a solid, efficient, and compliant approach to the finances of the Community Council. She is very keen to get engaged in our community and meet everyone - say 'hi' when you see her !
