Columbus, Ohio (May 17, 2023) – At a time when polarity too often prevails, civility and civic engagement are virtues that tie together this year’s winner of COSI’s John Glenn Inspiration Award with the individual in whose honor it is given. Central Ohio real estate developer and community leader Jack Kessler will receive the John Glenn Inspiration Award in late May, COSI has announced.
COSI President and CEO Frederic Bertley said Kessler “embodies the civility, which was hugely important to John Glenn, as well as community contribution and making a big impact around leadership.”
