Choosing a life of public service as a means of embracing our differences and changing the world.
Assistant Dean of Development & Alumni Relations at Case Western University School of Law, and Councilman for Beachwood, Ohio.
James’ passion for government and public service rose from an accident he had while in high school that required him to have multiple surgical procedures. He underwent these procedures at the Johns Hopkins Hospital in Baltimore, Maryland, during which time former President George W. Bush prevented the use of stem cells for research. Believing such research could help those in a similar situation, Pasch says, “This formed my belief that what those elected to office do can have significant impact on people’s lives. I want to be a voice for the people, but also I want to listen to what people have to say because that’s just as important.”
James Pasch currently has a seat on the City Council of Beachwood. James, a lawyer and a native of Brooklyn, N.Y. is an RPS alum.
