FACT CHECK: YES, Mayor Don Mennel is Chairman of The Board (Chairman Emertus) of Mennel Milling

Don Mennel (Donald L. Mennel), often referred to as Chairman Emeritus.

The Mennel Milling Company is a family-owned business (fifth-generation leadership) headquartered in Fostoria, Ohio. Its official website (mennel.com) highlights D. Ford Mennel as President & CEO and does not publicly list a separate active Chairman of the Board on the leadership or company overview pages.

• In 2013, when Ford Mennel became President, his father Donald L. (Don) Mennel was elected Chairman of the Board.
• More recent references (e.g., 2023) describe Don Mennel as Chairman Emeritus of the company while he was active in local politics (Fostoria City Council and later Mayor).
• Don Mennel’s LinkedIn also lists him as Chairman.

For private/family-owned companies like this, board roles (especially Chairman) are often not as prominently disclosed as executive positions, and the President/CEO frequently plays a central leadership role. No newer public sources indicate a change from Don Mennel’s emeritus/chairman status.
