Youth commission leader steps down

7/26/2006

After working with Toledo youth for nearly three years, Traci Jadlos, the executive director of the City of Toledo Youth Commission, has submitted her resignation, effective Aug. 4.

In a letter dated July 21 to Mayor Carty Finkbeiner, Ms. Jadlos said she was leaving the city to spend more time with her children. She could not be reached for comment yesterday.

Mr. Finkbeiner announced earlier this year he would have co-managers of the youth commission. He said he would keep Ms. Jadlos, ex-Mayor Jack Ford's appointee, to work with college-age youth and recent college graduates to combat "brain drain" - the loss of educated young people from Toledo.
