Dayton, OH, October 26, 2026 —
The Montgomery County ADAMHS Board has withdrawn its job offer to Teresa Russell for the executive director position, citing a statutory waiting period under Ohio law that prevents her from accepting the role until March 2027. Russell has also withdrawn her acceptance, according to the information provided about the decision.
The reported circumstances mean the offer is no longer in place and Russell is not accepting the position. The summary does not specify when the board made its decision, when the offer was issued, or when Russell withdrew her acceptance. It also does not identify the specific statutory provision or explain the circumstances that triggered the waiting period.
No additional details were provided about the board’s process for selecting Russell, whether another candidate was considered, or what steps the board may take to fill the executive director position. The information also does not state whether the board plans to reopen the search or name an interim leader.
The reported date is March 2027, when the waiting period is said to end. The available information does not clarify whether Russell could be reconsidered for the role at that time, or whether the board’s withdrawal of the offer changes any future hiring process. It also does not include statements from Russell or the board beyond the description of the decision.
As a result, the stated reasons for the offer’s withdrawal are limited to the statutory waiting period and Russell’s withdrawal of her acceptance. Further details about the legal basis, hiring timeline and the board’s next steps were not provided.
