David Chambliss, Associate Dean of Development, Peabody College of Education and Human Development, Vanderbilt University

Ron is a professional colleague and mentor. His experience in marketing, strategic planning, management, and personal relationship building are just a few reasons why he continues to be successful. His commitment to an outstanding work ethic, and ability to work with all types of people are truly admirable traits. As an undergraduate president of my fraternity eight years ago and still today, Ron is the Alumni Board President and helps guide a chapter of men through our successes and challenges. Even into my 30s, Ron is the type of mentor and friend who will give you great advice, provide a good laugh, or just be there to listen. There are no words to describe the difference Ron has made in his community of Sandusky, Ohio, the difference he has made for his Alma Mater Bowling Green State University and his fraternity Sigma Phi Epsilon.
