“The
breakfast was originally started by the North Area Realtors,” Gleich
told the
Chamber Notes. “When
the Chamber took over the event several years ago, the Clintonville
real estate community remained involved, but it is also nice to have
other Chamber members sharing in the event.”
“We are honored to have Jon Husted as our keynote speaker,” said
Jackson. “He has a long history of support and involvement with the
youth of our State.”
Speaker Husted is currently in his fourth term in the Ohio House,
representing the 37th District (Dayton). He was first elected Speaker
in 2005 and re-elected in 2007. In addition to his duties as Speaker,
he also chairs the House Rules and Reference Committee and the Joint
Legislative Ethics Committee. He also served as chairman of the Ohio
Youth-In-Government Committee.
Husted has championed strengthening education in Ohio by setting
high standards and focusing educational investments on improving math,
science and technology skills.
The Speaker has been honored by a number of local and state wide
organizations during his time in the legislature. Including being
named one of the Dayton areas Top Business Leaders Under Age 40, by
Business News.
In all, 33 sixth, seventh, and eighth grade students will be
honored at the breakfast. A limited number of student sponsorships are
