Jeff Rubin

Jeff Rubin is a civic improvement, community engagement and communications professional who believes that every individual has the right to be heard and the power to make a difference regardless of their ability or age.

He believes this to be especially true if there are decisions being made that impact the quality of any individual’s life. A champion of inclusion and collaboration, he sees both as essential components in bringing about productive and effective change.

Jeff has been acknowledged for his efforts over the years, winning Editor and Publisher’s top award for community service while marketing and directing several community newspapers and later being recognized by his peers for leading and advancing older adult and intergenerational programs at the local, state, and national levels.

​More recently, Jeff was appointed by the previous Kentucky Governor, Steve Beshear, to serve as a member of the Kentucky Institute on Aging, an advisory body to the Department of Aging and Independent Living. In addition, he hosts a radio talk show on contemporary community issues, and is a contributing columnist to print and on-line media.

Jeff has a daughter, Sarina, age 21, who attends college at the University of Oregon. He shares a consulting practice with his wife, Denise, in Berea, Kentucky where they live with their dog, Toby.
