Covelli Receiving Honor

Warren Tribune Chronicle:

Local entrepreneur Sam Covelli is accustomed to winning awards for his successes in the business world, but he admits that being named 2010 Penguin of the Year by Youngstown State University is special.

“It’s quite an honor when you hear of other people that have won the award, like (Ohio State football coach) Jim Tressel,” said Covelli, who will be honored Monday at YSU’s annual Scholarship/Ring Dinner at Mr. Anthony’s in Boardman. “It humbles you. I’ve been involved with YSU ever since we started our company.

Economic development goes through our colleges and universities. YSU is so important to our community. We like to feel that we work together. We have a lot of great associates that have graduated from YSU. Many of them are the top people in our company.”
