Dorothy O. Jackson Society Event Next Tuesday

Dorothy O. Jackson will be the guest of honor at a reception for the minority leadership giving society of United Way of Summit County that bears her name. The reception, on Tuesday, June 30, from 5:30 to 8:00 pm will be held at the home of Judge Carla Moore. Cocktails and hors d’oeuvres will be served.

“The Dorothy O. Jackson Society of the United Way of Summit County was created to increase minority giving and increase involvement of minorities in United Way,” said United Way of Summit County President Bob Kulinski. “With this event, we hope to thank our current membership and hopefully allow prospects to see what this group is attempting to do, and make them want to get involved.”

Dorothy O. Jackson is an icon of service in our community. After a long and distinguished career with several social service organizations, she served nearly 20 years as Deputy Mayor of the City of Akron. She has been inducted into African American History and the Ohio Women’s Halls of Fame. Jackson retired in 2003, but she is still active in the community.

The reception will feature multiple speakers. There will be an informal program with different people giving remarks.
