Council Member Staci Adelman Vincent
Staci Adelman Vincent is honored to serve the wonderful residents of Orange Village and is humbled by the trust her neighbors have placed in her through their tremendous show of support in the 2019 election. Staci looks forward to representing residents’ voices and visions for the next four years to ensure that the Village remains true to its traditional roots as a charming community with its beautiful natural resources while continuing to thrive as a safe and accessible community for all generations. Though it is crucial to be stewards of fiscal responsibility and still maintain support for our outstanding community services, Staci knows the bottom line isn’t about numbers–it’s about people: how you are engaged; what your quality of life is; how much you love where you live; how you can live a life you love. Staci’s communication skills, collaborative efforts, and passion, respect, and heart for ‘All Things Orange’ are what motivate her.
A 1983 graduate of Orange High School with an Accelerated Master’s Degree and Bachelor of Science in Journalism from Northwestern University, Staci is a Society of Professional Journalists-, Best of Gannett-, and Emmy-Award winning television correspondent who has covered events around the world ranging from Senator John Glenn’s return to space to the Princess Diana tragedy in Europe.

Upon returning to Northeast Ohio 21 years ago, Staci and her husband, attorney Leland Vincent, purchased their first home in Orange Village where they continue to reside with their two sons, Ryan (OHS 19, now a student at the College of William & Mary), and Caden (OHS 22), along with their English Lab, Colby. After serving as Assistant News Director and Executive Producer/Special Projects for WKYC-TV, Staci has worked diligently in the Communications Department of the Orange Schools for the past decade showcasing the extraordinary achievement of Orange Schools students, staff, and community members. For her work in photography, writing, and social media efforts, Staci has garnered dozens of public relations awards, including seven Best of the Best in the State honors.
The youngest Orange Hall of Fame Inductee and Past President of the Orange Alumni Association, Staci performs with the Note-oriety Show Choir and Singing Angels Alumni and has been actively involved in the Northwestern Alumni Association Admissions Council, the Orange Schools PTA (most recently as Senior Class Parent Committee Co-Chair), the Orange Senior Center, and the Kiwanis Club of Lander Circle. She has coached competitive drill teams around the country for more than three decades, serving as the OHS Lionettes Coach for four years. Staci emcees events throughout the community including the annual Reflections Ceremony and this past year moderated a District-wide panel discussion on the teen vaping epidemic.
A regular attendee at Orange Village Planning & Zoning, Finance Committee, and School Board meetings, Staci looks forward to bridging the conversations between all Community Stakeholders including Village residents, our outstanding schools, the award-winning Pinecrest Development, and Village Administrators as well as expanding our outreach to neighboring communities. She encourages you to reach out to her via email or Facebook (www.facebook.com/Vincent4OrangeVillage/ ) with ideas, thoughts, concerns, or just to say hello and looks forward to connecting with residents through Trail Talks beginning this spring. Staci is eager to build on the relationships that began door to door during the campaign and wants you to know that her door always remains open to you.
