VOINOVICH, George (1936)
George Voinovich, a political leader with Slovene and Serbian
roots. Raised, like Lausche, in Cleveland's neighbourhood, Voinovich followed
his service as Cleveland's mayor in the 1980s by becoming governor of
Ohio, an office to which he was reelected once more. During his tenure
as mayor, Voinovich worked effectively to bring back the lost luster of
his city. He promoted public-private partnerships, stressing the social
responsibilities of the business community and the necessity of cooperative
effort by all segments of the community.
George Voinovich, now Senator of Ohio, has visited Slovenia four times. On his last visit to Slovenia in 1995, a large business delegation accompanied him.
