“It’s (Catholic Social Services) a wonderful organization and it’s a real privilege to have the chance to provide leadership,” Roesch said. “She (Jelly) has been a tremendous leader in our community and with the support of our board and excellent staff we feel confident we’ll move forward with hope and purpose.”
In the past year, Jelly received an award from the National Association of Social Workers and was on the list of Miami Valley’s Ten Top Women as the first female executive director at Catholic Social Services.
Catholic Social Services serves about 22,000 people per year in eight counties in southwest central Ohio. Services include adoption, day care, a food pantry and counseling.
