In his new position, Hoze will be the Secretary's direct representative responsible for guidance and coordination of HHS policies in the region. The area includes the states of Illinois, Indiana, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio and Wisconsin.

Previously, Hoze was director of the Milwaukee Office of the Governor from 1995 to 1997, acting as the governor's chief representative in southeastern Wisconsin, and liaison between the governor and local officials, business and community leaders.

Hoze was listed as one of the "100 Most Influential Black Milwaukeeans" in the March 5, 1997, edition of The Community Journal. That same year, he also was the recipient of the It Takes a Village Award by Community Journal.
