Greater Pittsburgh Dignity & Respect Champions for December: Ranny and Jay Ferguson

fergusons

 

Congratulations to Ranny and Jay Ferguson, this month’s Dignity & Respect Champions! Both strong advocates for the community, Ranny and Jay Ferguson work tirelessly to spread the notion that everyone deserves dignity and respect. They believe that an individual must value themselves in order to value others.

In November, Jay became chairman of Fifth Third Bank of western Pennsylvania, where for eight years he served as president of the western Pennsylvania market. In addition, Jay currently serves on the boards of directors of the Western Pennsylvania School for Blind Children and UPMC St. Margaret Memorial Hospital, where he is vice chairman and treasurer of the Hospital's foundation.

Ranny retired after teaching at the University of Pittsburgh and The Ellis School, and is now a full-time community advocate. She volunteers with many organizations such as the Race for the Cure, The Children's Home of Pittsburgh, and Pittsburgh Cancer Institute, among others.

Do you know an individual who makes a positive impact and promotes an environment of inclusion? If so, nominate the person in your life you feel has made a difference for the Dignity & Respect Champion Award!
