Jen Scott (she/her/hers)
Director of Compliance, Board of Directors
Jen Scott (she/her/hers) is a native Ohioan from Forest Park, Ohio. She attended Northwestern University earning a degree in Chemistry. After returning to Ohio, she embarked on a successful career in information technology and established her own consulting firm. In 2015, she began another path in life, that of a community organizer and grassroots activist. She became very involved with the atheist and secular movement, driven by a passion for separation of religion and government. She believes strongly that an individual’s right to religious freedom should not infringe on the rights of others. In 2016, she co-organized a direct-action campaign which drew international attention to raise awareness of the anti-LGBTQ+ hiring practices of a tourist attraction in Williamstown, Kentucky. In 2018, she was recognized as Activist of the Year by the national civil rights organization American Atheists. That same year, she joined their board of directors as Treasurer and was elected to the role of Board Chair in 2022. She also serves as Vice President for the Community Shares of Greater Cincinnati and as Vice President for the Kentucky Freethought Convention.
She brought her passion for advocacy to Equality Ohio when she joined their staff in 2019. As the Statewide Field Manager, Jen supports municipalities to implement LGBTQ+ inclusive policies, educates the public, and connects and empowers the LGBTQ+ community in Ohio. Jen was recognized for her work by the City of Cincinnati and Councilmember Reggie Harris as a Pride Month honoree in 2022.
Jen joined the board of Cincinnati Pride in 2018. She currently serves as Director of Compliance and Parade Chair. Her commitment to Cincinnati Pride comes from her desire for our community to remain visible, vibrant, active and empowered.
In her free time, she enjoys science fiction/fantasy movies/books, and is an award-winning basket weaver.
