Hudson Ward 3 Councilman Alex Kelemen presented the Hudson Clocktower Rotary his view of the State of the City. Alex is extremely knowledgable and always engaging when talking about the city.
Alex has an MBA from Kent and owns his own company, Kelemen and Company that does language translations. He has lived in Hudson with his wife for 25 years. They have one son in college and one out of college. He is serving his second term as the Ward 3 Councilman.Alex said the City is solid and they are looking forward to moving into the new City Hall in June.
The City Mission Statement is now printed on business cards: “We Serve, Promote and Support Professionalism ...” He has interviewed several hundred people that have applied to serve on city boards and commissions. This has given him a strong perspective on the pulse of the City. People who volunteer are looking for a way to give back and help the City.

Alex has talked to us about the Communications Model. What the speaker said is not always what the listener heard. Alex said we have openings on the Park Board, Tree Commission and
