Supreme Court of Ohio Justice Maureen O’Connor welcomed the children of Court employees on Take Our Daughters and Sons to Work Day Thursday, April 24.
“I think that when children are able to experience their parents’ work environment and to meet their co-workers it helps them visualize what mom or dad is doing when they are ‘at work,’” said Justice O’Connor. “It’s a great bonding experience. We at the court are very proud of our building and our staff and it’s wonderful to be able to highlight both.”
In addition to the meet-and-greet session with Justice O’Connor, the special guests received a tour of the Ohio Judicial Center, security facilities and courtroom. For more than 15 years, individuals, families and workplaces have joined in expanding opportunities and transforming the lives of millions of girls and boys both nationally and internationally through the program.
Justice O’Connor was elected in 2002 as the 148th Justice on the Supreme Court of Ohio and the seventh woman to serve on the Court. She has experience as a practicing attorney, magistrate, common pleas judge, and prosecuting attorney. In 1998, she was elected as lieutenant governor and was the governor’s chief advisor on criminal justice issues, serving as director of the Ohio Department of Public Safety, and as chair of Ohio’s Security Task Force and the State Building Security Review Committee.
