The Presidents Club of Dayton has announced that Jenell R. Ross is the 68th recipient of the region’s 2018 Citizen Legion of Honor award. The award, given every year since 1951, is the oldest, most continuous and prestigious recognition of volunteer servant leadership in the Dayton region.
Ross is the president of Bob Ross Auto Group, a second-generation leader of the area’s 44-year business where she accepted that role in 1997.
Ross has successfully guided that multiple-franchise dealership where she has also served as a member of the National Automobile Dealers Association; the National Association of Minority Automobile Dealers; General Motors and Chrysler Minority Dealers Associations.
She was the 2013 chairwoman of The American International Automobile Dealers Association (AIADA), the first African-American woman to hold that office.
Ross established the Norma J. Ross Youth Foundation in honor of her mother who lost her battle with breast cancer in 2010.
She has continued to volunteer, work and support education awareness of breast cancer and has been an ardent fundraiser for the American Cancer Society for many years.
The Presidents Club of Dayton is honored to recognize Ross at its annual luncheon event from 10 a.m. to 1:15 p.m. on Oct. 4 at the Dayton Convention Center. Sponsorships and tables are available by contacting Marcia Bostick at 937-2268225 or emailing at mbostick@dacc.org. The proceeds from this event go toward sustaining the scholarships at Sinclair Community College for active student volunteer leaders in our community.
The Trotwood Police Department recently received accreditation renewal by the Commission on Accreditation for Law Enforcement Agencies, Inc. (CALEA) and was awarded the Accreditation with Excellence and the Meritorious Award for having 15 continuous years of accreditation — the gold standard in public safety.
The renewal was accompanied by the commission’s praise for the department’s “excellence in addressing the intent of CALEA standards beyond compliance.”
CALEA accreditation is verified by a team of independent CALEA assessors, who carefully examined the department’s policies and procedures, management, operations, and administrative services for compliance with 484 CALEA standards.
Chief Erik Wilson believes that CALEA compliance sets the benchmark for public safety professionalism, and commends all members of the Trotwood Police Department for their role in maintaining a high-level of professionalism.
This is the department’s sixth accreditation award since its initial award on March 22, 2003.
