Cincinnati Business Courier cartoonist and audience development director Joe Hoffecker, whose cartoons appear in all American City Business Journals papers, is leaving the company after 32 years to run the city’s Metropolitan Club.

Andy Brownfield of the Business Courier writes, “Hoffecker began cartooning for the Courier almost immediately after starting. His editorial cartoons began getting picked up by other American City Business Journals newspapers, the parent company of the Cincinnati Business Courier, starting with the Sports Business Journal in 1998. Today his cartoons are carried by all 40 ACBJ newspapers. His last cartoon will be printed in the April 5 Weekly Edition.

“Hoffecker officially begins his tenure as the Metropolitan Club’s executive director on April 8. He can be reached in his new role at 859-491-2400.

“Courier publisher and market president Jamie Smith said Hoffecker will be greatly missed.

“‘Joe’s 32 years at the Courier mean so much more than the experience,’ he told me. ‘The relationships he’s developed will help the Courier forever.'”
