Local leadership from the association and The Ohio State University to help set national agenda and priorities
The Honorable Joyce Beatty, senior vice president for outreach & engagement at The Ohio State University, has been elected to serve on the National American Heart Association Board of Directors.
As a board member, Beatty will serve as a leader guiding the American Heart Association’s mission-based and fiscal decisions. Such decisions drive the association to achieve its mission of building healthier lives free of cardiovascular diseases and stroke through their strategic impact goal to improve the overall cardiovascular health of Americans by 20 percent while reducing death from cardiovascular diseases and stroke by 20 percent by the year 2020.
“It is my great honor to accept this important assignment because of the solemn mission we face,” Beatty said. “Heart disease is the No. 1 killer in our country, and strokes disable thousands every year. Education, awareness, and access are all vitally important to fighting cardiovascular disease, and I will work hard to help people get the facts and the care they need to live longer, healthier lives.”
Beatty’s recent election grows her nine-year involvement as a member of the American Heart Association central Ohio Board of Directors and role as an active volunteer within the community. After suffering a cerebral brain stem stroke in 2000, Beatty has served as an integral volunteer for the association; key highlights include: support of Go Red For Women since its inception in 2004, national spokesperson, dedicated advocate in support of American Heart Association policy priorities, member of the affiliate-wide Advocacy Expert Panel, 2009 Heart of Higgins Award recipient and more.
Beatty joined the team at The Ohio State University after a historic tenure in state government. She made history in 2006 when she became the first-ever African-American female Leader of the Ohio House of Representatives’ Democratic Caucus. Ebony Magazine selected her as one of its 150 most powerful African-Americans in the nation in 2008.
Beatty, a Dayton native, holds a bachelor's degree in Speech from Central State University, a master's in Counseling Psychology from Wright State University, doctoral coursework and exams completed at the University of Cincinnati, and honorary Ph.D. degrees from Ohio Dominican University and Central State University, awarded to her as she delivered their commencement addresses. Beatty is also an accomplished businesswoman. She established Joyce Beatty & Associates, Inc., a management training company and she is proprietor of Pieces for Wear, a boutique in downtown Columbus..
Beatty is married to attorney and former State Representative Otto Beatty Jr. and stepmother to attorney Otto Beatty III and Judge Laurel Beatty. She enjoys boating, tennis, people, writing, swimming and cycling
