“We strive to make our city the most connected in the world. We accomplish this – not only through partnerships with people, organizations and governments – but also by creating a beautiful and welcoming sense of place where people are connected through their relationships, their neighborhoods and the environment. This holistic approach to quality of life brings a sense of joy, wellness and belonging where all can thrive.” – Jane Fox

For more than three decades, as a medical professional by trade, Council Member Jane Fox has pursued her interests in the support of individual and community wellness. A graduate of Mount Carmel School of Nursing, Fox believes that cultivating sincere relationships, both within her community and globally, is vital in fostering goodwill and well-being.

Prior to being elected to Dublin City Council, Fox served 2 ½ years on the Architectural Review Board, which included the role of vice chair. As a Council Member, she served as liaison and seated member for four years on the Dublin Planning and Zoning Commission, chaired Council’s Public Services Committee and was the Council representative to the Dublin Bridges Steering Committee.

In 2024, she was presented a Certificate of Commendation from former Consul General of Japan Yusuke Shindo in recognition of her role in deepening mutual understanding of friendship between the U.S. and Japan.

After working as an emergency room nurse, Fox served more than 20 years on Ohio hospital development boards and auxiliary committees, including Diamond Society of Memorial Hospital of Union County and Mount Carmel Hospital, where she raised substantial funds to benefit community wellness, women’s health and hospice programs.

She is the founding executive director of the Clintonville Chamber of Commerce, where she coordinated and promoted the Clintonville Sesquicentennial street celebration that attracted more than 25,000 visitors. In that role, she was responsible for creating an economic development commission, which brought city leaders together to develop an urban overlay protecting Clintonville’s architectural integrity and forged the early framework for High Street improvements and matching grants.

She and her husband, Dr. Thomas Fox, live in Historic Dublin, and have three grown children, Thomas (Becky) Fox, Lori (John) Begley and Dr. Anthony (Dr. Lynn) Fox, and 10 grandchildren and step-grandchildren.

Public Records Request Overview

In order to support faster response and better tracking of requests, the City of Dublin uses JustFOIA to collect, respond to and manage public information requests.

Why JustFOIA?
