 Profile
| Todd Wurschmidt seems to always be a leader in whichever company he works for. One of Wurschmidt’s favorite quotes is, "Never, never, never quit/give up," as he must have lived by these words in order to get to where he is today. Todd Wurschmidt is currently the chief executive officer at an organization he founded, PARADOX Associations, which consults with nonprofit organizations in problem solving and raising funds, among other things. Though Wurschmidt created the organization only in March 2008, he has become actively involved with the International Section Council and the Global Summit on Social Responsibility with the American Society of Association Executives. Perhaps it was Dr. Wurschmidt’s past experiences in upper-level management that permits him to become involved nationally and internationally so quickly. Before he became involved at PARADOX, Todd Wurschmidt was a CEO, but this time he was overseeing staff operations at the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police. Todd Wurschmidt served at that nonprofit organization for more than 20 years. During his time there, Wurschmidt was able to secure more than $20 million in grants for Ohio’s homeland security efforts from 2004 to 2008. This endeavor involved the overseeing in the development of the biggest statewide homeland security information sharing effort in the country, and earned them the 2007 Excellence in Technology Award from the International Association of Chiefs of Police. While he was working at the Ohio Association of Chiefs of Police, Wurschmidt was also the CEO at fundraising organization, the Law Enforcement Foundation. Dr. Wurschmidt was heavily involved in the fundraising process, and the organization was able to secure funds from the state and federal government, as well as public and private sectors. Wurschmidt was also charged with overseeing the development of diversity training and the Child Abduction Response Teams which are a complimenting program to Amber Alert. Dr. Todd Wurschmidt also spent nearly two decades collectively as the CEO of three nonprofits that became integrated in a shared office space: DAO (D.A.R.E. Association of Ohio), OCPA (Ohio Crime Prevention Association), and OSROA (Ohio School Resource Officers Association).
