John Janusz presented Ray D’Alonzo with an Outstand Service Award on 14-May. Among his recognized contributions Ray served as Chairman of the Cincinnati Section of the ACS in 1981. He Chaired the Regional meeting in 2000 and was co-Chair in 2007, wherein his fund efforts resulted in net proceeds of over $70,000 for our Section. He led the significant rewrite/modernization of Section by-laws, coordinating the rewrite with ACS National. He also served as President of the Cincinnati Section of the Society of Applied Spectroscopy.
Ray obtained his B.S. degree in Chemistry (cum laude) from the University of the Sciences in Philadelphia in 1974 and his Ph.D. in Analytical Chemistry from the University of Massachusetts, Amherst in 1977. He is currently Manager, Doctoral Recruiting and University Relations, at Procter & Gamble. He joined P&G’s Food Division after graduate school. He worked in the Bar Soap and Household Cleaning Products Division, and the Pharmaceutical Division where he led the research section that discovered the blockbuster osteoporosis drug, Actonel.
In addition to the above mentioned service to the ACS, Ray has been active in the Annual Greater Cincinnati United Way Campaign, Big Brothers/Big Sisters Association, and the Boy Scouts of America. In 1995, Dr. D’Alonzo received the Distinguished Alumni Award for service to UMASS. In 2000 he received the UMASS Chancellor’s Medal – the highest honor that can be bestowed upon an individual from the University.
Ray will retire from P&G this year. He and wife Marilyn will maintain their primary residence in Blue Ash, OH, but will establish a home in Amherst Massachusetts where Ray will serve as an Adjunct Professor in the University of Massachusetts Chemistry Department. His teaching responsibilities are to begin in fall 2008.
