The State of Ohio is an equal opportunity employer and will not use any of the information you provide to discriminate against you on the basis of race, color, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, national origin (ancestry), military status (past, present or future), disability, age (40 years or older), status as a parent during pregnancy and immediately after the birth of a child, status as a parent of a young child, status as a foster parent, genetic information, or sexual orientation.

Pursuant to Ohio law all appointees to a statutory board or commission are required to file an annual financial disclosure statement with the Ohio Ethics Commission. A financial disclosure statement requires a filer to disclose certain information regarding their personal financial interests and fiduciary relationships for the preceding calendar year. A sample financial disclosure statement is available here https://ethics.ohio.gov/forms/fds/index.html. A financial disclosure statement may be a “public statement” which is publicly available, or it may be a “confidential statement” which is not publicly available. The distinction between a “public statement” and a “confidential statement” is based in law and is a function of the particular body that an appointee is a member of. Most but not all uncompensated appointees are “confidential” filers. A listing of these distinctions by particular body is available here https://ethics.ohio.gov/fds/membersrequiredtofile.pdf.
Please note, if you currently receive benefits from a state retirement agency, you may wish to discuss with that agency any potential impacts on your benefits should you be appointed to a state board or commission.
