Timken Co. Chairman Ward J. ''Tim'' Timken Jr. is positioned to become board chairman of a nonprofit, regional economic development group.

The group's current chairman is Christopher M. Connor, chairman and CEO of Cleveland-based paintmaker Sherwin-Williams Co.

Earlier this year, Timken was appointed to serve on the U.S.

Manufacturing Council, which advises the U.S. Secretary of Commerce on matters that affect U.S. manufacturers.

Team NEO board members receive no compensation from the nonprofit.
