For more than 40 years, Sally Bloomfield has practiced in the areas of public utility and administrative law, emphasizing state public utility regulatory proceedings. Recently, Sally has practiced exclusively before the Ohio Power Siting Board (OPSB) in more than 15 major electric generation projects involving development costs of more than $7 billion. She has also represented wind developers before the OPSB.

Sally is a former Commissioner and Chairman of the Public Utilities Commission of Ohio. Since completing her term on the commission, she has served as a member and officer of numerous community boards and committees, including as President of the Columbus Bar Association, the Columbus Bar Foundation and the Ohio State Bar Foundation.

Sally has served on the Franklin County Convention Facilities Authority (FCCFA), initially as its first Chair, then as Vice Chair and, since April 2014, as Chair again. During her tenure, the FCCFA built a $96 million convention center that was completed in 1993; significantly expanded the center and built a parking garage at a cost of $75 million that was completed in 2001; converted a 35-year-old auditorium attached to the center into the largest ballroom in the city (a $40 million project that was completed at the end of 2009); and constructed a $140 million convention hotel across the street from the center that was opened in 2012. In 2019, the FCCFA significantly expanded the convention center once again, and constructed three additional parking garages at a combined cost of $351 million. The FCCFA is also adding a second tower to the existing convention center hotel, a $425 million project. The tower is expected to open in 2022.

Sally has also participated in the Bricker & Eckler’s nonprofit group with an emphasis on the federal filings required for nonprofit organizations.
