Ohio Pen/10303658

MARION, Ohio - OhioPen -- Each year the Trailblazer Award is presented to an outstanding female leader in the community. This individual makes an impact in their business, in their spheres of influence and in their volunteer roles. Women's Business Enterprise Council Ohio River Valley (WBEC ORV), is thrilled to announce Jill Frey as the 2025 Trailblazer Award Winner.

The award is presented at the Trailblazer Dinner, part of the annual Catch the Wave Regional Conference. This year's event will be held at the Huntington Convention Center in Cleveland, OH on August 26, 2025, and will include a video recap of Jill's accomplishments and insights, as well as remarks from the stage.

"Not only is Jill an incredible leader at the four companies she runs, but she empowers her team to be innovative and have ownership of their roles. Cummins Facility Solutions is a prime example of a business being successful due to every department firing on all cylinders and being willing to pivot when needed. Somehow, she also finds time to be an active volunteer with WBEC ORV, among many other organizations," says Chuck Hendrix, WBEC ORV Interim President & CEO.
