Young has a significant record of leadership

Voters in Centerville and Washington Twp. should note that Joyce Young, running for re-election as a township trustee, has a significant record of leadership.

She has served as a trustee for 14 years. She has served as president of the board of trustees for several terms.

Her list of leadership responsibilities goes on and on: founding member of the South Suburban Coalition for Alcohol and Drug Free Youth, founder of the Centerville-Washington Diversity Council; past board member of the Washington Centerville Public Library, board liaison to Hithergeen Center, co-chair of the Steering Committee for Create the Vision, Montgomery County Citizen of the year, Dayton Daily News Top Ten Women, and the President’s Club Legion of Honor for Service.

Young has the leadership skills, experience and integrity to get the job done.

There is more work  for Young to get done

Those who have followed and admired Joyce Young’s outstanding record of community service are often in awe of her expertise, energy and extraordinary sense of integrity. I am one of them.

Many give thought to devoting time to a governing body, but few are willing to step in and actually serve, as Young has done.

Scores of Washington Twp. residents are well aware of the contributions Young has made as a township trustee. They respect her sincere efforts to assure a solid future for this area. She isn’t finished yet. There is more work to be done.

Re-elect Joyce Young so that she may continue with the noteworthy projects she has started.
