• DXC Staffer receives Clinton Honors
  DAYTON, OH - University of Dayton graduate student and Dayton Christian Center (DXC) Fellow Drew Formentini has been selected as a participant in the 2010 Clinton Global Initiative to be held April 16-18 at the University of Miami, FL.
  Formentini, a native of Glenview, IL, came to DXC, an 88-year-old faith-based community action organization, in September, 2009 through the Fitz Center for Leadership in Community, named for the university's former president, Brother Raymond Fitz. He, along with four other graduate students, was placed with downtown Dayton non-profit organizations as part of their course requirements. As such, he now is not only a full-time student, but also puts in 20 hours per week as a staff member at DXC.
  During his time at DXC, Formentini has established himself as a leading part of the administrative team, working on developing a Health and Wellness program for the center and spearheading partnership collaborations on the East Side of Dayton.
  "I enjoy being able to work independently on some of the projects and especially, now, working on the East Side and trying to rejuvenate our presence there and collaborate with different partners. I think it's a very talented group of people we're working with," Formentini said recently in an interview.
  In fact, he credits his work at DXC as the reason he was selected for the Clinton Global Initiative (CGI) honors.
  "The reason I was selected, is directly because of the work I'm doing with DXC on behalf of UD," he said. He also said that his selection was partially due to his standing as a student at UD and his other experiences in the community.
  The Clinton Global Initiative was founded in 2005 by former president Bill Clinton as a direct result of his experiences in office. While president, Clinton found that there was a need for cooperation between governments, the private sector, non-governmental organizations, and other global leaders confront and solve the major problems facing the world community today.

The Dayton-Springfield-Greenville Combined Statistical Area had a population of 1,085,094 in 2000. Dayton is situated within the Miami Valley region of Ohio, just north of the Cincinnati metropolitan area. Dayton is within 500 miles of 60% of the population and manufacturing capacity of the U.S. and so is defined as one of only two major logistics centroids in the United States. It plays host to significant industrial, aerospace, and technological/engineering research activity and is known for the many technical innovations and inventions developed there. Much of this innovation is due in part to Wright-Patterson Air Force Base and its place within the community. With the decline of heavy manufacturing, Dayton's businesses have diversified into the service economy, including the insurance, legal, and healthcare
