Since then, he has remained in his adopted hometown, despite major life changes like elder-care and long commutes, because of his ties to the people and organizations found across Portage County. He has been involved in many non-profits in and around the community, most notably as chair of the Kent Environmental Council and co-founder of Edible Kent. Both of these organizations work to improve the Kent community, KEC through their focus on environment and Edible Kent through their focus on improved access to fresh produce for all. He alsoserves as a mentor through Kent State’s LGBTQ Center.

These two achievements, especially, position our local economy as a place that is welcoming to all individuals and looking to build a brighter future for our earth and our children. As a member of the faculty of the University of Akron, Dr. Regula is familiar with budgeting in state institutions and careful use of limited taxpayer dollars. As a teacher, Dr. Regula understands the value of clear communication with the people for whom he is responsible, and the importance of listening to the people he serves.
