Morrison Will Head Ohio’s Workers Compensation Fund
Governor John R. Kasich named Sarah Morrison as administrator and CEO of the Ohio Bureau of Workers’ Compensation, tapping her to lead an agency with more than 1,800 employees and serving more than 250,000 Ohio employers.
She has served in that position in an interim capacity since the bureau’s former administrator and CEO, Steve Buehrer, stepped down last month.
Morrison was BWC’s chief legal officer since first joining the bureau in November 2012 after 15 years in private law practice. She holds a bachelor’s degree in political science from The Ohio State University and a law degree from the Capital University Law School. She was named an Ohio Rising Star by Law & Politics magazine and was a recipient of the Columbus Business First “40 Under 40 Award” in 2005.
