Coleman will be responsible for overseeing the zoo’s philanthropy, community relations and marketing and sales departments, according to a news release from the Columbus Zoo and Aquarium.

Coleman, who will begin at the zoo August 12, will continue to serve as vice chair of the OU Board of Trustees until 2022, when her term ends.

“Janelle’s familiarity with our community and her extensive leadership background makes her a strong asset to our organization,” Columbus Zoo President and CEO Tom Stalf said in a prepared statement.
