Tressel to Join Regional Chamber Board
YOUNGSTOWN, Ohio -- Youngstown State University President Jim Tressel is joining the Youngstown/Warren Regional Chamber’s board of directors effective Oct. 1, Peter J. Asimakopoulos, chairman, announced Thursday.
Earlier this summer, the Regional Chamber board voted to approve Tressel as a new member. Tressel officially became YSU president July 1 and was installed Aug. 18 during a ceremony at YSU.
“We are extremely happy to have Jim on the chamber’s board of directors. He will be a vital cog in the chamber’s work of developing a better educated and trained workforce for our growing economy,” said Asimakopoulos, executive vice president of small business banking and Youngstown market president for First National Bank.
“We can meet that goal by improving educational attainment in the Valley and having our various institutions working together to promote economic development,” he continued. “I am confident Jim will work closely with us in realizing those goals.”
