| The Director’s Community Leadership Award |
Each year, the Cincinnati Division publicly recognizes the achievements of an individual or organization with the Director’s Community Leadership Award (DCLA).
This special award, presented on behalf of the Director of the FBI, was formally created in 1990 as a way to honor individuals and organizations for their efforts in combating crime, terrorism, drugs, and violence in America.
Past honorees have come from all walks of life. Some are experienced law enforcement officers, prosecutors, or detectives. Others are religious leaders, business owners, and non-profit officials. They all share a commitment to making their communities better and safer places to live and work.
The 2012 DCLA recipient from the Cincinnati Division was John F. Wolfe. Mr. Wolfe currently serves as the chairman of the board and CEO of The Dispatch Printing Company, the publisher of The Columbus Dispatch, and the chairman of the board of WBNS TV Inc. Mr. Wolfe is a highly respected civic leader in Central Ohio, often donating his time and resources to endeavors that benefit large portions of the community.
