CVG board gets new leaders

Two leaders of the local business community have been named the new heads of the Kenton County Airport Board, which oversees the Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky International Airport.

J. Michael Schlotman, executive vice president and CFO of Kroger Co., will be the board’s new chair, and John Mocker, partner at LB Industries Inc., will be the vice chair beginning Jan. 1, 2016. Both will serve one-year terms and be eligible for renomination in December 2016.

Schlotman joined the board in 2014 and has served as the chair of the airport’s finance committee. He replaces Bill Robinson, who will remain on the board following his second term as chairman.

“CVG is a tremendous Tri-State community asset,” Schlotman said in a statement. “2015 has been a great year with levels of passenger and cargo growth not experienced in over a decade. The airport is well positioned to achieve even greater growth in 2016 and we have the team in place to achieve our objectives.”
