ABOUT DALE
Hello, I’m Dale Mallory, a familiar face on the west end of Cincinnati where I have devoted my life to community service and leadership. Having retired from GE Aircraft Engines, I've channeled my energy into initiatives that uplift our youth, such as the Cincinnati 4-H Initiative, where we provide practical experience in vegetable gardening. I truly believe that by fostering a sense of responsibility and connection to our environment, we can interweave personal growth with community well-being. Join me in making a difference!
