Event Description:
Join us for Together We Can Do It! George Voinovich and the Work of Government, an exhibition opening and panel discussion that celebrates the life, leadership, and legacy of George Voinovich (1936–2016), a proud Clevelander whose heritage shaped his strong commitment to public service and global cooperation.
Senator Voinovich's Slovenian and Serbian roots, not to mention his Catholic faith, spurred his passion for public service, belief in government, and outlook on the world. As Cleveland’s mayor—and then Ohio’s governor and US senator—he embraced the potential of collaboration, efficiency, expertise, and global community, and wasn’t afraid to make independent, sometimes difficult choices.
Through a variety of artifacts, photos, archival materials, and personal stories, the exhibit explores Senator Voinovich's approach to leadership, highlighting his numerous accomplishments both at home and abroad.
Event schedule:
● 6:00–7:00pm: Exhibition preview (at Slovenian Museum & Archives) and welcome reception (at Slovenian National Home)
● 7:00–7:45pm: Panel discussion (at Slovenian National Home)
● 7:45–9:00pm: Exhibition viewing (at Slovenian Museum & Archives) and socializing (at Slovenian National Home)
Confirmed panelists to be published ahead of the event.
This project is made possible through a partnership between the Slovenian Museum & Archives, Global Cleveland, and the Voinovich School of Leadership and Public Service and the George V. Voinovich Collection, both at Ohio University.
The exhibition will be available for view at the Slovenian Museum & Archives through the Cleveland Kurentovanje festival (February 14, 2026) and beyond.
