COMMENTS BY ROSS YOUNGS FOUNDER BIOSORTIA PHARMACEUTICALS AND 25 YEAR SERIAL ENTREPRENEUR

Dublin, Ohio (February 11, 2013) – Thank you for the recognition and the opportunity to say some words about entrepreneurial endeavors. I have been a resident of Dublin Ohio since 1986 and an entrepreneur who has had companies located in the city or region since 1988.

The business person in me congratulates the city’s leadership on their foresight and efforts to create an environment that is nurturing to start-up businesses. Any efforts to coordinate knowledge and productively assist innovative and sustainable businesses will be a benefit to the community. Good ideas come and go they succeed and fail, but the skills and experience required will get broader and deeper within the community, improving the opportunity to realize a benefit, and ultimately a return on investment.

The resident in me congratulates the city’s leadership on their foresight and efforts to create a community with the diversity and quality of services available to the residents and businesses. I also encourage the city’s leadership to be mindful that any pursuit or opportunity to improve services should engulf best practices with a drive to best in class as an objective. The residents of Dublin excel at all we do; we appreciate and respect a culture of achievement. From city service staff to our school system staff nothing makes us prouder than knowing the staff and their leadership are working to build and deliver a culture of success with accomplishments everyone can be proud of. Thank you for all the hard work.
