The Centerville-Washington Diversity Council is honored to welcome Rhine McLin as the keynote speaker for its 25th Annual MLK Breakfast, celebrating Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.’s enduring legacy of service, justice, equality, and community. Ms. McLin’s topic on January 18, 2027, will be “What I am talking about, according to the Rev. Doctor Martin Luther King Jr.”
A Dayton native and trailblazer in public service, Rhine McLin has dedicated decades to leadership, civic engagement, and strengthening communities. She made history as Dayton’s first female mayor and its third African American mayor, and as the first African American woman elected to the Ohio Senate, where she later became the first woman to serve as Minority Leader.
McLin currently chairs the Montgomery County Board of Elections and continues to serve her community through education, civic engagement, media, and international service. A passionate advocate for equity, inclusion, and opportunity, she has inspired audiences throughout the United States and abroad.
