Congratulations to July's Dog of the Month, Rumor, and her wonderful owner, Corinne Blackstone!

Thank you to Corinne for stopping into the Lorain County Auditor's Office to pick up Rumor's prize basket! Rumor sat this visit out, as we're told she can be a bit of a vocal spokesdog. She did, however, send some adorable Rumor stickers in her place!

Congratulations again, Rumor! We hope you enjoy all your goodies! 🐶❤️

🎉 Congratulations to Auditor Craig Snodgrass on 32 Years of Service! 🎉

We would like to take a moment to recognize and celebrate a true champion of public service, Craig Snodgrass. Craig’s journey with the Lorain County Auditor's Office began 32 years ago on July 25, 1994. Since then, he has been a beacon of dedication, integrity, and leadership in our community.

Craig's pursuit of excellence started at Walsh University, where he earned his bachelor's degree in accounting. His passion for learning didn't stop there; he went on to become a Certified Public Accountant (CPA) and earned his Certified Government Financial Manager (CGFM) certification, continually expanding his expertise.

Beginning his career under the guidance of Julian Pijor and later serving under Mark R. Stewart, Craig’s dedication was evident from day one. His tireless work ethic and passion for our county propelled him through the ranks, and in 2013, he became Lorain County Auditor. Since then, his leadership has been nothing short of exemplary, steering the office with wisdom and precision.

Craig Snodgrass embodies the principles of accuracy and fairness. Under his stewardship, the Lorain County Auditor's Office has received ongoing recognition with the GFOA Certificate of Achievement for Excellence in Financial Reporting, demonstrating his commitment to these values. Additionally, Craig became the first Lorain County Auditor to serve as President of the County Auditors' Association of Ohio, a role he proudly held last year, further showcasing his leadership and dedication to public service.

As we recognize his 32nd anniversary with the Lorain County Auditor's Office, we honor his unwavering commitment and dedicated service to the residents of Lorain County.
