| Leadership Geauga County has established the Richard G. Ross Geauga County Emerging Leader Award. The award was
created to support the development of leadership potential in our county's youth and was posthumously named for
Richard Glenn Ross, attorney and Vice President of the Leadership Geauga Board of Trustees. Richard Ross was a leader of integrity, character, and balance. In naming the award after him, the Leadership Geauga Board chose to honor Ross as well as to indicate to the winners that, when working to attain leadership skills, they would do well to follow his example. The award is a cash stipend given annually to students to recognize their achievements as emerging leaders and help them defray the cost associated with continuing their education or achieving their leadership goals. The award is given to students based upon an application, written essay and an interview. All high school seniors who are educated in Geauga County (including home schooled), reside in Geauga County and are in good academic standing are eligible to compete for this award. This year's essay topic is "What leadership skills and qualities are necessary of a Presidential Candidate in order to properly and successfully lead the United States of America?" Applications and essays must be submitted by noon on November 3, 2008 to: Leadership Geauga County 107 S. Street Suite #5 Chardon, Ohio 44024 If you have any questions, please feel free to contact Leadership Geauga County's Executive Director, Dr, Bob Faehnle at 440-286-8115 or by e-mail at bfaehnle@gmail.com. |
