With the holidays approaching, now may just be a good time to get to know new APA board member Angel Burton – Chief Financial Officer at Clermont Senior Services. Read on to learn more about Angel.

APA: Describe what your business provides to the community.
Clermont Senior Services is the elderly services provider for Clermont County. We provide numerous programs serving our older adult population, with the hope of keeping them in their homes and living independently for as long as possible.  

APA: How long have you lived in Cincinnati?
I was born and raised in Butler County, Ohio. I grew up in Okeana and graduated from Ross High School. My husband and I moved our family to Batavia, Ohio in 2002, and Clermont County is where we’ve stayed. We now live in Stonelick Township, just outside Owensville, Ohio, or close to Milford, Ohio – depending on which way you’re coming!

APA: What, or who, inspires you? And why?
My goal has always been to make my momma proud. She grew up very poor in eastern Kentucky, and moved to Cincinnati, where the jobs were. She ended up a single mother and worked her entire life to give me a better life. There has never been a day that I doubted her love for me, and even though I lost her in 2023, she will always be the reason I work hard and keep moving forward.

APA: Thinking about your professional life, what are you most proud of?
Prior to working in the non-profit space, I worked in government finance for almost 20 years, working my way up from a treasurer in a small village to the finance director of one of the largest local governments in Ohio.

APA: If we were to ask your best friend about you, what would he/she say?
She would probably chuckle and say it’s a good thing she loves me because I usually cancel plans, and I’m lousy at texting her back, but I’m loyal and I’m steadfast and I know all her secrets, so she’s stuck with me.
