Greg Landsman
Greg Landsman currently serves as the Executive Director of The Strive Partnership, an education consortium of providers and funders working together to improve academic achievement along the education continuum – kindergarten readiness, proficiency scores, graduation rates, and postsecondary enrollment and completion rates – in Cincinnati and Northern Kentucky (Newport and Covingtong). Joining education, nonprofit, civic, business and philanthropic leaders engaged in the work, Landsman believes that collective efforts to grow our economy, expand the middle class, lift incomes, and reduce generational poverty depend heavily on the progress made in driving better results in education – cradle to career. Before joining The Strive Partnership, Landsman was appointed Director of the Governor’s Office of Faith-Based and Community Initiatives by Governor Ted Strickland in October of 2007. Created in 2003 by the Ohio General Assembly, the Office works to enhance the capacity of faith-based and community-based organizations, encourage effective partnerships among and between public agencies and faith-based and community organizations, and measure the impact of these partnerships in an effort to reduce poverty in Ohio. As Director, Landsman oversaw an annual grant-making budget of $7 million. Strickland also appointed Landsman Chair of the Ohio Anti-Poverty Task Force in May of 2008. The Task Force included participation by over 2,000 Ohioans and produced a multi-year strategic plan for reducing poverty in Ohio. Landsman’s career began in government working for then U.S. Representatives Ted Strickland and Nancy Pelosi. For Strickland, Landsman served as a congressional surrogate and Director of Field Operations for the Congressman’s 1998 reelection campaign. His efforts in 1998 helped the Congressman win by a fourteen-point margin. For Pelosi, Landsman served as Deputy Communications Director and helped with the Congresswoman’s effort to win House Minority Whip, which she did in 2001. Pelosi would later be elected the first woman Speaker of the House in 2007. Landsman then traveled the country with the Bill Bradley for President Campaign as a member of the campaign’s advance team. Landsman’s efforts with Bradley were featured on CNN as part of a “behind-the-scenes” look into the presidential campaign in March of 2000. Landsman left the work in 2001, first traveling to Guatemala to study Spanish and help build homes with Habitat for Humanity, then to Virginia where he began a leadership program for youth. He also spent a year teaching Spanish in a public high school in that state. Landsman earned a bachelor’s degree from Ohio University in 1999 and a master’s in theological studies from Harvard University in 2004. At Harvard, Landsman focused his coursework on the role religion plays in civic society, and co-wrote Harvard Kennedy School Case Study, Mapping Your Community’s Faith-Based Assets, which was published in 2006. From Cincinnati, Ohio, Landsman returned home in 2004 and ran David Pepper’s campaign for Cincinnati Mayor in 2005. In that effort, he helped now Hamilton County Commission President Pepper win a seven-candidate primary election, and, in the process, set a number of city fundraising records. Landsman was then recruited to join the leadership team of National Underground Railroad Freedom Center, and worked closely with the CEO on cost-cutting and revenue enhancement efforts. Landsman and his wife, Sarah, live in Cincinnati with their daughter, Madeline, and their two dogs.
