About May­or Morrell

Ronald, dri­ven by a call­ing to min­istry, busi­ness, and ser­vant lead­er­ship since an ear­ly age, has emerged as a mul­ti­fac­eted pro­fes­sion­al encom­pass­ing the roles of a min­is­ter, entre­pre­neur, com­mu­ni­ty leader, and moti­va­tion­al speak­er. His diverse skill set allows him to seam­less­ly nav­i­gate and excel in these dis­tinct avenues, each con­tribut­ing to the enrich­ment of the oth­ers.

Through his exten­sive involve­ment in min­istry, Ronald has had the priv­i­lege of tra­vers­ing the globe, engag­ing in both per­for­mance and instruc­tion­al capac­i­ties. This glob­al expo­sure has equipped him with the knowl­edge nec­es­sary to not only suc­cess­ful­ly man­age busi­ness­es but also to become a sig­nif­i­cant influ­encer with­in the com­mu­ni­ty. Ronald firm­ly believes that the prin­ci­ples embed­ded in each facet of his pro­fes­sion­al jour­ney mutu­al­ly rein­force one anoth­er.

In Octo­ber 2019, Ronald embarked on his inau­gur­al solo busi­ness ven­ture, Morrell’s Scoot­ers, div­ing into the rapid­ly expand­ing realm of ride-shar­ing micro-mobil­i­ty. In 2021, Ronald assumed the role of Exec­u­tive Direc­tor for the Boys and Girls Club of Grant Coun­ty, orches­trat­ing remark­able growth to a $500k bud­get in just two years.

A proud hus­band and father of two daugh­ters, Ronald draws inspi­ra­tion from his fam­i­ly. Grad­u­at­ing with a Bach­e­lor’s degree from Indi­ana Wes­leyan Uni­ver­si­ty in 2017, he pos­sess­es a diverse port­fo­lio tai­lored to res­onate with a broad spec­trum of cit­i­zens, con­gre­ga­tions, and busi­ness­es.

Ronald has etched his name in his­to­ry as the first black Repub­li­can May­or in Indi­ana and the inau­gur­al black may­or of Mar­i­on (IN). Fueled by a pas­sion for serv­ing his com­mu­ni­ty, he looks for­ward to lever­ag­ing his honed skills to steer the city towards a new and pros­per­ous trajectory.
